More Than 3,000 New Homes To Be Built In West London
More than 3,000 new homes are to be built in West London.
Construction has started on the Southall Waterside scheme, which will see 3,750 new homes created over a 88-acre site at a former gasworks site at Southall.
The project, which is being delivered by Berkeley Group, has already required two years of infrastructure work and remediation to start cleaning 250,000 cubic metres of contaminated land.
The development will be delivered in phases over a 25-year period, with the first homes scheduled for completion in 2019.
Tony Pidgley CBE, Chairman of the Berkeley Group, said: "Southall Waterside is about much more than buildings or infrastructure. It's about creating a real community where the residents feel proud and people look out for each other. This is a really extraordinary site – 36 times the size of Trafalgar Square – and we are going to turn it into one of the best new villages in London."
Council Leader Julian Bell said: "Southall is being transformed and this impressive development is an important part of our plan to regenerate the area. Southall Waterside will deliver thousands of much needed new homes as well as jobs, shops and community facilities. I am particularly pleased that this new community will integrate with those around it - the new western access road has vastly improved the scheme and will help ensure congestion is reduced."
