Hounslow West social housing project passes final hurdle

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has approved plans for 176 home development in Hounslow West.

The scheme, which will provide a mix of affordable homes and social housing, was designed by Colwyn Foulkes & Partners for property group A2 Dominion.

The project had been granted planning consent by the London Borough of Hounslow last December.

The site, which was previously a Morrisons supermarket and has been derelict for a number of years, will be demolished.

While no contractor has been appointed, work is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2019.

Senior partner Nick Colwyn-Foulkes said: “The Mayor has made it clear that tackling London’s housing crisis is his number one priority.

“Transformative developments such as this the one on the Bath Road will help provide a large number of much needed affordable homes, with 50% social housing and 50% intermediate tenures with the option to buy and rent.”

The project will also include a space for an 8,000sq ft food store.
