BSWGA1 Alperton Growth Area

Alperton Growth Area’s transformation as an extensive area of mixed use residential led regeneration principally focussed along the Grand Union canal will continue between Alperton and Stonebridge Park stations. The area will be a location for tall buildings at its Ealing Road and Northfields ends, with principally mid-rise in between. Investment in the canal and its setting on adjacent sites will enhance its role as an increasingly important environmental, recreational and movement corridor, that draws the area together rather than acting as a divide.

In addition to over 6,800 additional homes, Alperton will be encouraged to become an enterprise hub. This will principally be through new business and employment floorspace within those residential developments to provide a major boost to business and employment opportunities. This will deliver a new varied supply of neighbourhood friendly modern light industrial premises, studios and managed workspaces for local business, creative industries, and artists to reinvigorate the local economy.

All developments will achieve the highest design standards and contribute positively better integrating the canal and its hinterland into Alperton into the surrounding area. Energy efficient design and renewable energy are encouraged. Development will be supported by associated additions to social infrastructure identified in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, which will include:

  • A series of equipped play areas within new developments and open space
  • Creation of informal recreation, Good quality public realm along the canal and linking improved pedestrian and cycling routes;
  • 4 x 0.2ha Pocket park
  • Improvements to the quality and accessibility of existing public open spaces;
  • Opportunities for Food growing
  • New nursery facilities;
  • New health facilities (as part of the Northfields Industrial Estate regeneration scheme)
  • Multi-use community centre;
  • Roads/Junction and other public transport improvements; and
  • Planting new trees.
