Council approves amendments to stadium development



Hounslow Council’s planning committee has approved amendments to the Brentford Community Stadium development (pictured above).


The amendments – which were submitted in September 2017 by Lionel Road Developments Ltd and Kew Bridge Gate Developments LLP on behalf of Brentford Football Club and its development partner Be Living Ltd – included changes to the stadium’s design and the central eastern and central southern residential sites.

The first phase of the residential part of the scheme has been redesigned to fit better within the local context and is set to provide 487 new homes with a mixture of apartments for rent and purchase.

The stadium’s design adjustments feature upgrades to its broadcast, lighting and media facilities as well as refinements to the number and mix of seats.

The entrance to the stadium will be enhanced to include a public square with commercial outlets.

The plans also include changes to make the stadium more compact and increase accessibility with a new road along the northern perimeter of the site.

The Brentford Football Club Community Sports Trust offices will now be situated in purpose-built facilities alongside the stadium.

Cliff Crown, chairman of Brentford FC, said: “This decision by Hounslow Council is a great early Christmas present for fans. 

“We now hope to be in a position to begin stadium construction in February 2018, following completion of a revised agreement with the London Borough of Hounslow on our obligations and will share more details with fans on the stadium build phase early in the new year.”

Matthew Townend, managing director at Be Living Ltd, added: “Securing Hounslow Council’s support for the planning amendments takes us a step closer to delivering the Brentford Community Stadium development. 

“We’re all very excited to be part of creating a vibrant new community that hopefully acts as a catalyst for positive regeneration in the local area.”
