Covering an area of approximately 5.45 hectares and in close proximity to the A4 Great West Road and other key transport corridors, the proposals aim to create a new neighbourhood which better utilises this site, formerly occupied by a large retail store and surface parking.
The Outline Planning Application consists of a mix of 1,677 new homes, of which 35% will be designated as affordable, and up to 5,000 sqm of commercial and community uses – including three significant new public spaces, The Clearing, The Water Gardens and The Meander.
The Clearing will be Osterley’s new centre stage, where people gather to enjoy performances and festivities. With restaurants and cafés, the space is large and flexible providing a place for entertainment such as outdoor concerts and performances. This is an informal area to eat, drink and socialise. It also features a Mobility Hub with bicycle storage and hire, and car club and bus information.
