Transport for London's (TfL) wholly owned commercial property company, TTL Properties Ltd (TTLP), has appointed Barratt London as its joint venture partner for the delivery of its site by Bollo Lane in Acton as well as a range of other potential sites in west London, subject to contract completion.

Barratt London was selected as the joint venture partner after a competitive dialogue procurement process was successfully concluded.

The site in Bollo Lane received the go-ahead in January 2021 by Ealing Council to deliver up to 900 new homes in Acton - with 50 per cent affordable housing - plus a range of benefits for the local community. The scheme has been designed to reflect the site's surroundings and heritage, and provide new commercial space, which can be used by local businesses.


Alongside this, the proposal opens up public space, with green areas, play spaces, new footpaths and pavements as well as facilities to make walking and cycling safer and easier. The development will be delivered in three phases with the first phase comprising 195 build to rent homes, the second phase delivering around 450 homes and a third phase delivering around 250 homes.

Further land to the north in Acton, which could be incorporated into the partnership, could deliver a new facility for the London Transport Museum together with a further 800 homes. The joint venture partnership will also have the opportunity to develop other TfL sites across west London, helping to deliver thousands of new and much needed homes with close access to public transport.

As well as delivering new homes and public realm improvements, both TfL and Barratt London will seek to deliver new educational and job opportunities for those considering a career in the construction industry, including for those who live locally, through apprenticeships and training programmes.
