Plans for almost 500 homes in blocks up to 21 storeys were approved by Brent Council, despite concerns around affordability and overshadowing.
The council’s planning committee voted to approve the development at Euro House, in Fulton Road, Wembley.
It will provide 493 new flats, alongside retail and industrial space, in four towers ranging from 11 to 21 storeys high.
Some councillors on the committee expressed concerns around the level of affordable housing in the scheme, with just 98 units (20 per cent) proposed.
Cllr Daniel Kennelly, who represents Preston ward, noted this was way below the council’s planning policy of 50pc.
