Boost for West London renters as 460 new homes given go-ahead

Plans for a residential development delivering hundreds of new rental homes in West London have been given the green light.

Proposals by Connected Living London - the long-term partnership between Grainger plc and Transport for London - for a new 460-home scheme have been approved by Ealing Council’s planning committee.

Situated near Southall station, the 1.16 acre development will comprise a mixture of one, two and three bedroom properties, including homes offered at a discounted market rent.

Ben Tate, a spokesperson for CLL and head of property development at TfL, commented: “It’s fantastic to see the first of our sites at Southall get the go-ahead as part of Connected Living London.

“We can now start delivering quality rental homes that the capital desperately needs and help improve the area for the local community.

“Now more than ever, people are looking for homes that are more than just a place to sleep, and with a range of amenity spaces including outdoor terraces and a residents’ gym, we are confident that these new homes will be a fantastic addition to Southall.”

Helen Gordon, chief executive at Grainger plc, added: “We are delighted to secure our first planning resolution for Connected Living London.

“This is an exciting and important milestone for our partnership, which over the coming years is set to make a positive difference for renters and communities across London.

“In Southall we are delivering 460 superbly located homes that locals can afford, all professionally managed by our inhouse team, setting new standards for renting in the area.”
