124Wembley Area Action Plan - Proposed Submission Version13 Comprehensive Development AreaThe Apex House and Karma House sites aresuitable for hotel or residential development,providing commercial uses such as affordablework space on the ground floor. In spite of theextant permission on Karma House a courtyardtype development, as illustrated in theWembley Masterplan, is favoured for the site.The site is in flood zones 1 and 2. Allproposed development will require a detailedFlood Risk Assessment (FRA), in accordancewith Section 6.7 of the Brent Borough SFRA.The ‘sequential approach’ at site level shouldbe applied to steer more vulnerabledevelopment such as residential, and hoteluses towards areas of lowest risk within thesite; area from north west to south. Densityshould be varied to reduce the number ofvulnerable units in high risk areas. Furthersite-specific details are set out in thesequential test assessment for the WAAP.Indicative Development Capacity (if residential)- 85 unitsJustification13.47 A well-located site outside the designatedSIL. Two relatively low-grade industrial buildingswith ancillary offices which could be redevelopedat substantially higher densities.1 Olympic WayContext13.48 1 Olympic Way is a prominent, refurbished14 storey office building at the northern end ofOlympic Way close to Wembley Park station and,consequently, with excellent public transportaccess. The proximity of Wealdstone Brook at therear means that it is in flood zone 2.Planning History13.49 None relevant.Site W 161 Olympic Way(0.68 hectares)This site lies within the Strategic Cultural Areawhere leisure, tourism and cultural uses areparticularly encouraged.Any redevelopment of the existing offices isexpected to follow the form set out in themasterplan in order to maintain Olympic Wayas an internationally recognised processionalroute to the stadium. Redevelopment shouldre-provide office floor space.The site is in flood zones 1-3. All proposeddevelopment will require a detailed Flood RiskAssessment (FRA), in accordance with Section6.7 of the Brent Borough SFRA. While thecouncil considers that developing the siteprovides wider sustainability benefits to thecommunity that outweigh flood risk, a‘sequential approach’ at site level should beapplied to steer more vulnerable developmenttowards areas of lowest risk within the site; tothe north. None of the proposed uses arecompatible with flood zone 3b. Density shouldbe varied to reduce the number of vulnerableunits in high risk areas. A minimum 8 metresbuffer zone must be provided for the waterwayand development should contribute to there-naturalisation of Wealdstone Brook. Furthersite-specific details are set out in thesequential test assessment for the WAAP.The council would wish to improve the settingof the Wealdstone Brook and the tree beltthrough the north of the site. Opportunities tosemi-naturalise the Brook and provide forpublic access will be sought on anyredevelopment of the site. Redevelopmentproposals must be accompanied by a floodrisk assessment.Development of this site should contribute toan upgrading of the northern part of OlympicWay including the underpass to Wembley Parkunderground station.A small area of land on North End Road isrequired, as shown on the Proposals Map, andin Appendix C, to allow the road to bere-opened at the junction with Bridge Road.
Wembley Area Action Plan - Proposed Submission Version125Comprehensive Development Area 13Justification13.50 The building is ideally located for continueduse as offices.Olympic Way Office SiteContext13.51 The site includes the Olympic office blockwith a significant area of car parking to the south.It is a prominent site on the eastern side of OlympicWay and is within the Wembley Growth Area andthe office block, which has recently beenrefurbished, is within the designated town centre.Site W 17Olympic Way Office Site(1.2 hectares)This site lies within the Strategic Cultural Areawhere leisure, tourism and cultural uses areparticularly encouraged.The redevelopment of this site should largelymirror the development pattern on the westernside of Olympic Way in scale and form - theseare detailed and illustrated in the WembleyMasterplan. This requires the pulling back oftaller elements to secure an 80m zone withmaximum projections of 25m separated by‘outdoor rooms’. Office and hotel developmentwould be acceptable throughout thedevelopment, while residential developmentshould be confined to upper floors as set outin the Wembley Masterplan. The council willstrongly encourage active ground floor usessuch as cafés, restaurants and bars on theOlympic Way side. The building at thesouthern end should complement the park andthe plot should provide a generous open spaceconnecting to the new public open space onEngineers Way.Development of this plot should also ensurethat buses can be accommodated onRutherford Way, turning in and out ofEngineers Way and Fulton Road.Indicative Development Capacity: 250 unitsJustification13.52 The main departure from the WembleyMasterplan is that the council is now proposing thatbuses are run up and down Rutherford Way and,therefore, the council accepts that a more formalbuilding at the southern end of the Olympic officeblock site that marks the end of plot would beacceptable with a clear, generous and formal publicopen space link to the main park that will be laidout on the other side of Rutherford Way.Wembley Retail ParkContext13.53 The site comprises the main retail park,containing retail and restaurant uses along with carparking, together with the Wembley Industrial Parkto the east. The site is located on the north side ofEngineers Way, to the east of Rutherford Way andto the south of Fulton Road. The site is almostequidistant from Wembley Stadium and WembleyPark stations. Development will come forward asleases on the retail park expire. The proposals arelong term as the current leases have a longunexpired term. The council will shortly completean option to secure the Wembley Industrial Parkfor a new primary school (to be provided whenleases expire in 2017).Planning History13.54 The retail park was substantially re-builtafter consent was granted in 2004 (LPA ref:04/2158). A further planning consent granted in2011 (LPA ref: 11/1566) removed the restriction ofbulky goods retail to the eastern part of the retailpark subject to certain requirements which includeda limit on the sub-division of units.Site W 18Wembley Retail Park(4.9 hectares)
