Homes planned for former Brentford FC stadium site

Revised proposals to redevelop the old Brentford FC stadium in west London into a residential site now contain 149 homes.

The plans originally submitted in 2021 were for 75 private homes on the Hounslow site but after consultation with the architect HTA design and Hounslow Council, the number of homes was increased.

The planning application from EcoWorld London also consists of 41 houses, two apartment blocks, car parking and public green space.

Griffin Park stadium was home to Brentford FC for 119 years and was demolished last year.

The application also includes new eco-initiatives such as 100 new trees, solar panels, low carbon heating systems and electric vehicle charging points.

Of the 149 homes, 30 will be available at discount market sale for key workers and Hounslow residents, and none will be available for rent.

The developer has consulted with local residents and Brentford fans on the design of the public park – which will feature a central area that celebrates the history of the site.

Senior director, Gregor Mitchell, said: "EcoWorld London has a longstanding commitment to delivering quality new homes within Hounslow, both at the Griffin Park site and also on various other locations across the borough.

"This location is a key part of the wider site, opening this area of Brentford to the community and reconnecting into the neighbourhood."
