The Masterplan proposes the removal of many of the existing tower blocks, replacing them with 2 400 high quality medium rise flats with generous space standards, of which approximately 1 500 will be made available to existing South Kilburn residents, in the 400 000 000 GBP regeneration of the area. Phase 1a of the regeneration is now complete. Phase 1b, which includes Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands' award winning design, commenced in July 2012, delivering 208 homes by 2015. Planning permission has recently been secured for 336 homes as part of Phase 2a.Brent Council does not just expect good quality for South Kilburn. The expectation is for exemplar, award winning high quality developments. By securing planning permission Brent has to date, taken control of the design process. However, for Site 11b, the Council secured outline planning permission with all matters reserved. The exceptional quality standards set by the earlier developments in South Kilburn will be expected to be exceeded for Site 11b, particularly given its location at the gateway between South Kilburn and Queens Park.
