Planning secured for 2,000 home masterplan in Southall, London

Acting on behalf of Montreaux Developments Limited, we have helped to secure outline planning permission for a residential-led, mixed-use scheme at the former Middlesex Business Centre (Margarine Works) at Bridge Road, Southall (London Borough of Ealing).

Comprising seven development plots (including the locally listed Sunrise Radio Building which will be retained and refurbished) and accommodating buildings ranging in height from three to 27 storeys, the redevelopment of this site will provide up to 2,083 residential units, 7,199 sq m hotel floorspace, 2,688 sq m of flexible retail floorspace , 10,076 sq m of flexible office and community floorspace. In addition, the scheme delivers approx. 3,750 sq m of public park in the centre of the masterplan, part of the overall 2.37 ha of open/amenity space and landscaped areas, and a new internal road network which will help to unlock the delivery of neighbouring development sites.

We provided expert Planning services for this key site within the Southall Opportunity area which brings more than 850 new jobs to the area, creates approx. £22.3m annual spend in the local area, and secured approx. £13m in financial contributions as well as 35% affordable housing.

The development, by Montreaux Development Limited, follows an earlier application in 2016 which secured a resolution to grant outline planning permission for the previous owner of the site, comprising up to 835 new homes and approximately 20,000 sq m of student accommodation, hotel, commercial and retail floorspace.

Director, Alex Christopher said:

“We’re thrilled with Ealing Council’s decision to grant outline planning permission. This development will provide much needed homes in the area, 35% of which will be affordable, and will be the catalyst for the long-awaited regeneration of this part of the Southall Opportunity area.”
