Willmott Dixon has secured planning consent to deliver a mixed-use scheme in West London.

Prime Place and Be:here, the firm's residential development arms, will build a new 20,000 capacity football stadium for Brentford Football Club along with 648 new homes in Brentford.

The new 'Griffin Park' stadium and seven residential buildings will be located on a ten-acre site on Lionel Road South, close to Kew Bridge.

The homes will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments offering high quality hotel-style living with facilities including a concierge service, private lounge/library and dining room, a cinema, a gym and private landscaped gardens.


Improvements to the public realm include extensive landscaping and greenery across the site, new pedestrian and cycle routes, retail outlets and on-site car/cycle parking.

Prime Place has already secured full planning consent to develop a further 75 two, three, four and five-bedroom family houses for private sale on the Griffin Park site, including a memorial garden to celebrate the history of the football ground.

Brian Brady, MD of Prime Place, said: "We're delighted to get the green light from Hounslow Borough Council and are looking forward to working closely with Brentford FC to deliver a superb new stadium for the Bees and badly-needed housing in a superb location that will meet the strong demand in Brentford for high quality homes for rental and private sale."

Chairman of Brentford FC, Cliff Crown, added: "This is another step towards realising our dream of playing in a new community stadium.

"We are very pleased to be working with the Prime Place team who have a proven track-record of delivering high quality housing within a wider regeneration project.

"As well as creating a brand new stadium for our supporters and an attractive environment for visitors and local residents, this project will create jobs and opportunities for local businesses."
