Landlord given green light for 348-home scheme with TfL

Designed by HKR Architects, the scheme will feature improvements to the station that include the preservation of its Grade II-listed ticket hall.

The scheme also includes a new public square, improved pedestrian routes, upgraded cycle storage and 950 sq m of retail space, to support the local economy.

Steven Waite, director of technical and commercial at A2Dominion, said: “A2Dominion focuses on developing and maintaining high-quality, affordable homes and we are committed to future investment in Hounslow and the surrounding area.

“These new homes represent an opportunity for local people and those who work locally to become part of a new thriving community.”

Anjna Farmah, property development manager at TfL, added: “We’re thrilled that the plans to deliver 348 brand-new homes – all of which will be affordable – next to Hounslow West tube station have been approved by Hounslow Council.

“Working together with A2Dominion, we are using our land to help tackle the housing crisis and deliver the high-quality homes the capital urgently needs.”

The west London development is one of many in TfL’s 10,000-home pipeline, which focuses on parcels of land next to tube stations, such as car parks.

Earlier this year, proposals by TfL and Grainger for 351 rental homes on Cockfosters’ station car park were given the green light by Enfield Council.

The transport authority has faced resistance on some of its schemes, particularly in suburban parts of north London.

Proposals for developments next to Canons Park, Stanmore and Arnos Grove were all rejected by local planning committees, although the Arnos Grove scheme was later granted permission on appeal.
