In March 2008 the developers presented and published a new planning application[13], partly in outline and without the required transport assessment which was to follow shortly. When that appeared in November 2008 Barnet Council extended the deadline for comments and objections. (A planning application of this size requires the approval of the local borough and the Mayor of London, and can also be reviewed by the Secretary of State for the Environment). The Greater London Authority?s report included criticisms and challenges from Transport for London.[14][15] The London boroughs of Brent and Camden, whose roads border the development area, formally objected[16]. Although the planning application stresses the importance of walking, cycling and public transport, specialist organisations such as the London Cycling Campaign and the Campaign for Better Transport also objected.[16] Local residents and Friends of the Earth objected to the proposals for a new waste facility on the edge of the development[16] and a coalition of objectors Coalition for a Sustainable Brent Cross Cricklewood was formed[17].
The station was designed by architect Stanley Heaps and opened as Brent, the name of the nearby river, on the 19 November 1923.[2][3] It was the first station of the extension of what was then known as the Hampstead & Highgate Line, which was built through undeveloped rural areas to Edgware.
