A CGI of part of the development (Photo: Brent Council) A major development next to Wembley Stadium was approved by councillors despite concerns about security and the low level of affordable housing on offer. Brent Council’s planning committee yesterday (Wednesday, April 28) narrowly approved a scheme at a storage site, in First Way, Wembley. The owners of the land, Access Self Storage, seek to provide 600 new buy-to-let flats, some storage provision, and office and retail space in five blocks ranging from 12 to 24 storeys. However, several councillors were disappointed to see just ten per cent of the homes classed as affordable, with 36 three-bed properties offered up at London living rent and 24 one-bed flats at 35 per cent below market rate.

Volunteers are needed for a new plant-based Covid vaccine to be trialled at Northwick Park Hospital.
Medicago, a biopharmaceutical company based in Canada, and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) are launching the Phase 3 randomised, observer blinded, placebo-controlled study at the London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust (LNWUH).
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)-supported study is the first to test a plant-derived Covid-19 vaccine candidate, and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Coronavirus-Like Particle COVID-19 Vaccine (CoVLP).
Over the next four to six weeks the group are looking for 1,500 healthy volunteers aged between 18 and 39 who will receive an active study vaccine dose.
