The Proposals
EcoWorld London would like to deliver a masterplan for 149 new homes at Griffin Park, proudly honouring local heritage with a new 1,770 sqm community park set at the heart of an inclusive, safe and healthy neighbourhood.
The masterplan brings Griffin Park in line with today’s planning policy and the aspirations and needs of the local community. Griffin Park will deliver a broad mix of new sustainable homes for Brentford, connect into the neighbourhood fabric via new pedestrian routes and provide a publicly accessible, landscaped community park for the residents and the local community to enjoy.
The proposals remain very similar to the scheme consulted on in 2021. The proposed number of homes and building arrangement remains the same. However, we have updated the design to deliver an improved housing mix, more closely aligned to local requirements and current market demand. We have also undertaken some minor changes to the masterplan to comply with the latest building regulations, design guidance and planning requirements.
The proposals will deliver:
149 new high quality homes, including: -
41 townhouses for open market sale
78 apartments for open market sale
30 apartments for discount market sale (a form of affordable housing)
A new community park with an area of reflection proudly honouring the rich heritage of the area.
Attractive, safe and useable landscaped routes connecting Griffin Park into the neighbourhood fabric and providing new routes to access local amenities.
Buildings set back from existing boundaries, improving the relationship with neighbouring properties.
68 car parking spaces (inclusive of blue badge, visitor and electric vehicle charging) and 295 (secure and visitor) cycle parking spaces.
Over 60% carbon reduction saving, including low carbon heating systems, solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.
In addition to the financial contribution to the construction of the Brentford Community Stadium already made, the Griffin Park scheme will generate over £4m in Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payments, where previously there was none.
The specific changes in relation to the previously consulted 2021 masterplan:
14 Townhouses in Blocks K, H, L and E have remained 3 storeys, but the footprint has been made slightly larger to increase living space.
8 Townhouses in Blocks G and F have an additional storey to increase bedroom and associated living space for families in line with local need.
Increasing the number of trees and biodiversity of planting in the scheme.
Retaining features from the stadium to include in the scheme.
Adding more allotments.
Improving access and permeability.
Introducing further vehicle and cycle calming measures to new pathways to slow down traffic and improve safety for pedestrians.
