Theexisting residential areas to the north arepredominantly two storey which limits also the scaleof development that would be appropriate.Consequently, only a limited development can beaccommodated.High Road/Chiltern Line Cutting SouthContext12.16 This site covers the section of land setalongside the north side of Wembley High Roadcurrently occupied by small office blocks (somevacant) and small retail units, as well as thesouthern portion of the Wembley ChilternEmbankments site, behind the existing office andretail units along the High Road.
