The Barham Park Trust, consisting of Brent Council cabinet members, is negotiating to amend a covenant that currently restricts development in Barham Park. The proposed changes aim to enable funfair owner George Irvin to demolish two houses and construct four new homes. While the council argues the development will provide significant income for park maintenance, there is substantial local opposition. Critics highlight that the development would break earlier promises made during the sale of the land and question the adequacy of the financial compensation being offered.
The Barham Park Trust is poised to remove a long-standing covenant restricting development in the park to facilitate new housing, claiming it will generate maintenance funds.
Councillor Paul Lorber states the covenant should remain, emphasizing that the original sale conditions promised no further development and that the proposed compensation is inadequate.
