Planning for a better environment
Brent Council Environmental Department
Wembley Stadium is an architectural and economic achievement for the Borough of Brent. Those responsible for measuring the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the stadium work for Brent Council.
When asked, Ken Hullock, of the planning division in the environmental department, said his favourite project that he had been involved with at the Council was the Wembley Stadium regeneration.
The Planning sector carries out the duties of the ??local planning authority??. The Planning department is responsible for monitoring developments, in highways, housing, business, and traffic. Perhaps most importantly they preserve and maintain open spaces, and older buildings. Working closely with the public to ensure that the environments of the residents are maintained, the Planning Services department of the Council enforces the Town and Country Planning legislation to control the use of land or buildings and development in the Borough.
