Key Details

Overview

Watling Gardens Estate redevelopment in Cricklewood, London NW2.

The scheme will create 125 new affordable homes that are modern, carefully designed, and energy-efficient across three new blocks.

80 will be a mixture of sizes, including one, two and three-bedroom flats for general needs rent.

45 one-bedroom self-contained residential flats are to help people live independently as part of Brent’s New Accommodation for Independent Living (NAIL) project. The independent living homes will help meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in the borough by offering communal facilities including a lounge and activity rooms and a landscaped front and back garden. Residents who move to the new scheme will also benefit from care staff assistance.

The homes will be owned and managed by Brent Council.

The following properties are demolished:
- 1-8 Watling Gardens
- 9-12 Watling Gardens
- 1-30 Claire Court, 27 Shoot-Up Hill, London NW2 3UA and garages
