A former cinema and bingo hall is set to be redeveloped into a new shared living space, despite concerns some of the homes will be “around three times the size of a UK prison cell”.
Brent Council’s planning committee approved proposals for a scheme at the landmark building in Burnt Oak Broadway.
It will result in 125 new studio flats – ranging in size from 17sq m to 29sq m – alongside other leisure and working facilities to help revitalise an area that has “seen better days”.
