The future of Glynns Skip Hire, Fifth Way, Wembley
Welcome to the consultation website for Wembley Edge Property Ltd’s revised proposals for the future of Glynns Skip Hire, Fifth Way, Wembley.
The original proposal for the future of the site was granted in September 2025 and sought to deliver purpose-built student accommodation, alongside new light industrial space and public realm improvements.
Following a review of the consented scheme, the team brought forward a set of refinements aimed at improving the quality and deliverability of the development.
Planning update
A Section 73 planning application has now been validated by the London Borough of Brent (Planning ref: 26/0831).
You can view the application on the Brent Council Planning Portal here: Brent Council Planning Portal.
We appreciate that the planning database can sometimes be difficult to navigate, so key application documents can also be viewed below:
You can view the Design and Access Statement below, which sets out the design approach and how the proposed development has been designed to respond to its surroundings.
Public consultation on the proposals was held in February 2026, including two drop-in events where local residents and stakeholders were invited to view the proposals, meet the project team, and share feedback.
The feedback received has helped inform the submitted application. You can view the exhibition boards from the event in February 2026 below.
Public Benefits
The revised Wembley Edge proposals have been carefully developed in line with national, London-wide and Brent planning policy and respond to feedback received since the original permission was granted.
The scheme will deliver a high-quality, sustainable development that makes a positive contribution to Wembley and the wider Growth Area.
Key public benefits of the scheme include:
Making efficient use of a well-located brownfield site within the Wembley Growth Area.
Improved public realm, with new landscaping, safer pedestrian routes and better connectivity.
Delivering purpose-built student accommodation, helping to meet Londonwide need and ease pressure on the local private rented sector.
A strong focus on sustainability, including energy-efficient design, biodiversity net gain and a car-free approach with cycle parking.
High-quality design and townscape improvements, replacing an underused site with a development that responds positively to Wembley’s changing character.
Economic benefits, including job creation, student spending in the local area and
The potential for offsite affordable student housing and/ or a commuted affordable housing sum (to be agreed with LB Brent).
