Construction Stage

  • Griffin Park received planning approval with conditions in September 2025. The next step is for EWL Living and the Council to complete a Section 106 Agreement. Once this is finalised, the Council will issue the formal Planning Decision Notice, and after this, EWL Living can begin works on site.

    Before work starts, the contractor will submit the required information for the Council to review and discharge planning conditions.

  • EWL Living recognises that construction works can be disruptive and we are committed to minimising disruption for our neighbours.

    An initial Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) and Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) was submitted with the planning application, and the scheme includes controls to reduce impacts, such as regulated working hours and site deliveries.

    Once a contractor is appointed, CLP and CEMP will be updated and a detailed Construction and Traffic Management Plan will also be prepared and issued to Hounslow for approval. This plan will outline measures to reduce disturbance, including control of noise, dust and vibration, as well as the management of deliveries to and from the site. This information will be available to the public and local community.

  • We are committed to continuing to work closely with the community throughout construction.

    Before the building works start, we will hold an in-person event where you will be able to find out about this stage of works and meet the team. We will also write to nearby residents and businesses explaining some of the detail such as timings and locations of works so that you know what to expect.

    While the works are underway, we will continue to hold in-person drop-ins and meetings, and will write to you regularly to provide updates through letters and emails.

    This website will also be kept up to date on progress throughout the works. Sign up to our mailing list to receive updates on the project.

  • EWL Living will continue to work with residents individually regarding party walls. This process will be carried out in detail as part of the next stages of the approved scheme’s delivery.

  • Security and maintenance are currently managed by the developer, EWL Living. During construction this will transfer to the Principal Contractor and then back to the EWL Living once the build has been completed.

    The developer or landlord may appoint a third-party company to manage ongoing maintenance and provide security for the completed scheme.

  • Existing Blue Badge spaces on Braemar Road are managed by the Council and may be relocated by them if required.

    Once a contractor is appointed, a detailed Construction and Traffic Management Plan will be prepared and issued to the Council for approval before construction commences on site. This plan will include measures to manage parking and minimise disruption during the works. This information will be available to the public and local community.

Design and Planning

    • New high-quality housing, including Discount Market Sale homes.

    • In addition to the substantial financial contribution already made towards building the Brentford Community Stadium, the scheme will generate significant Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payments, including over £6 million for the borough where previously there was none. This funding will be used by the Council to support neighbourhood projects through the Thriving Communities Fund and to deliver strategic infrastructure improvements.

    • New, large (1,770 sqm) community park for use by everyone.

    • Enhanced public realm – landscape areas, new trees and seating areas.

    • New landscaped routes improving the permeability of the area.

    • Honouring local heritage of the area.

  • Yes. A key feature of the approved development is the new publicly accessible park and this access will be 

    As part of any planning approval there would be a legal agreement with the council to ensure public access is maintained into the future.

  • A new reflective space 'The Hive' will be an area for reflection and remembrance in the middle of the community park centred around the old centre circle of the pitch.

  • From 2020 – 2022, EcoWorld London consulted with key stakeholders, the local community and residents’ groups and Brentford Football Club supporters to discuss the application.

    This included:

    • A dedicated consultation website

    • Letters to 15,000 households

    • 13 meetings with local people and local political stakeholders

    • An online consultation event

    • Meet the contractor online event

    • Meetings with key local stakeholders, including Bees United and B.I.A.S, Brentford Voice and the Armenian Church

    • Newsletter to residents

  • The scheme includes 30 Discount Market Sale (DMS) homes, which allow purchasers living and or working in Hounslow to buy a new-build home at a discounted rate of the Open Market Value, as agreed with the London Borough of Hounslow.

    DMS homes help address the affordability gap by providing options for households who would not typically qualify for Shared Ownership and who cannot afford a private sale home. The development therefore offers an opportunity to provide a pathway into affordable home ownership by enabling delivery of 30 secure, high-quality homes for local households and a significant number of key worker households.

    Research suggests these homes will be affordable to around 20,000 households in Hounslow.

  • Griffin Park is one of five linked residential developments - Central Eastern, Central Southern (known as ‘Apo Kew Bridge Gate’), Capital Court (known as Verdo) and Duffy located at Kew Bridge Gate, adjacent to the new stadium, in addition to Griffin Park. Together these five linked schemes funded the costs incurred in the delivery of the Brentford Community Stadium.

    The five sites together deliver a package of benefits including a substantial contribution to local housing supply and a range of affordable housing types and tenures, in addition to the cost of delivery of the new Community Stadium.
