TheBoulevard connection should enable the useof buses, taxis and cycles. To integrate theBoulevard with the rest of the developmentarea and existing developments to the west,it is important that pedestrian links areprovided east/west through the site to ensurepermeability.Outstanding parcels of undeveloped landshould provide a mix of uses appropriate to atown centre location such as retail, leisure,office, community and residential. At groundlevel there should be active frontages to theboulevard. Development of sites to the east ofthe boulevard should allow for easy pedestrianaccess to the stadium.Thecouncil will support proposals to relocatethe existing 5-a-side football centre should berelocated to a nearby site on development ofits current site.Royal Route should provide an at-gradecrossing with the boulevard to provide forpublic transport access.The grade II listed Empire Pool (WembleyArena) is one of the most significant historicbuildings in Wembley. Any new developmentwithin close proximity of this building mustprovide a full and adequate assessment ofpotential impacts as part of a planningapplication.Indicative Development Capacity (remaining)- 1,500 unitsJustification13.18 Most of this area has been built out or isunder construction.

Development in the area should alsocontinue to contribute towards meeting the newhousing target figures for the borough.
