Scheme to be built next door to underground station

Transport for London and Barratt have teamed up to build around 450 homes in the shadow of Wembley stadium in north-west London.

The pair have recruited architect Tate Hindle to design the scheme which will be built across five buildings on TfL-owned land next to Wembley Park underground station.

Homes will be a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments and the development forms part of the Wembley Growth Area, which has plans for 11,500 new homes by 2026.

Dubbed as Brooke Avenue, the scheme will include commercial space, public realm improvements and cycle parking.

The development is the second TfL and Barratt London have partnered on, after joining with housing association L&Q at the 350-home Blackhorse View scheme in Waltham Forest, north-east London.
