The Hounslow Council Planning Committee has approved a redevelopment proposal for the Victory Business Centre site, Fleming Way, TW7 6DB, which will transform it into a six-storey building with 71 dwellings.
This project aims to provide high-quality accommodation while preserving the living conditions of neighbouring properties and enhancing the site’s appearance. Despite not including affordable housing, a financial viability assessment justifies this by demonstrating the project’s financial constraints. Instead, a cash contribution of £233,196 will be secured through a S106 Agreement. The redevelopment will make efficient use of the brownfield site, offering significant improvements over the existing Prior Approval Scheme.
A key feature of the redevelopment is the roof terrace, designed to offer additional communal amenities and play spaces for future residents. This terrace will include a variety of seating options and loungers, some integrated with planters, and will feature diverse landscape elements such as shade-providing pergolas. The terrace will also include an outdoor football table and small-scale children’s play elements, making it a versatile space for relaxation and recreation.
Safety and aesthetics are prioritised with arrangements of metal planters set back from protective railings, ensuring a safe distance from the building’s parapet walls. A gravelled maintenance strip further separates these elements. The terrace will also feature ornamental containers and planters of various sizes, allowing residents to grow herbs, soft fruits, and vegetables, promoting a sense of community and sustainability. This thoughtfully designed space not only enhances the building’s visual appeal but also provides a valuable amenity for its residents.
The developer is the Dunmore Group.
