SV1 - GREAT WEST CORRIDOR PLAN

Our approach

We will work with residents and stakeholders to explore and identify the potential capacity for additional employment-led mixed use development along the Great West Corridor and coordinate its regeneration.

We will achieve this by

Progressing a partial Local Plan review which will:

  • Identify the extent of the Great West Corridor;
  • Determine the location and sustainable quantum of additional employment and residential development above existing Local Plan levels for implementation through new site allocations;
  • Coordinate the delivery of public and private investment in transport infrastructure throughout the Great West Corridor as identified in policy EC1;
  • Progress the designation of the Great West Corridor as an Opportunity Area through the review of the London Plan;
  • Support the growth of the media and digital sectors in line with the London Plan’s identification of the area as a Strategic Outer London Development Centre;
  • Improve linkages with Brentford town centre through public realm enhancements and improved connectivity and access to amenities and facilities for the businesses and workforce in the area;
  • Identify sites with suitability for tall buildings following further urban design work;
  • Review existing employment designations, including the Locally Significant Industrial Sites, through an Employment Land Review and other appropriate evidence;
  • Explore opportunities for mitigating and reducing the impact of noise and air pollution for existing and future residents;
  • Review local infrastructure requirements through the preparation of an area-specific Infrastructure Delivery Plan; and
  • Proceed with initial informal public consultation commencing before the end of 2015 and a target for adoption by the end of 2018.
