Gate Services in Wembley
Wembley's Housing Stock
Barn Hill was built up by a single firm of developers and has a distinctive variety of house designs across its hillside setting, many with generous plots and gated driveways. Away from Barn Hill, in the newer development around Wembley Park and the stadium, gates are far less common, since most properties there are flats or commercial units rather than houses with their own driveway.
Common Faults
On the larger, older gated driveways around Barn Hill, we see the usual estate era pattern, gates and motors that have not been serviced in some time, and older ironwork carrying more weight than a modern motor was really designed for. Around the newer parts of Wembley, gate related work is much less common, and where we do see it, it tends to be smaller scale security gates on more recent developments.

Planning Notes for Wembley
Brent Council applied an Article 4 Direction to part of the Barn Hill Conservation Area in 1995, and the classes of permitted development it controls include the category that normally covers the erection, alteration or maintenance of a gate, fence or wall. Brent has since been working through new Article 4 Directions to replace the older ones across its conservation areas, so the exact position can change. For a Barn Hill address, or anywhere in Wembley, it is always worth checking directly with Brent Council rather than assuming the old rules still apply unchanged.
