A live-work-make community for East Brentford
Brentford Works mixed-use development forms part of the wider Great West Corridor Opportunity Area and the Golden Mile Renaissance project and received unanimous planning approval in September 2025. The development will transform a previously isolated industrial site into a live-work-make community, generating new employment and providing affordable housing within a coherent urban framework.
A new public square forms the heart of the scheme, anchored by a mix of market and affordable homes, flexible workspaces, and maker facilities, with ground-floor retail and workspace spilling out onto the Great West Road and Lionel Road, creating pedestrian-friendly connections to the wider neighbourhood. Community engagement was central to the design process, with over 12,000 residents and businesses invited to public consultation events and 70.6% of respondents expressing support for the proposals.
Biodiversity
The scheme targets net zero carbon, with biodiversity enhancement embedded throughout. Generous green public spaces and landscaped public realm introduce a higher level of ecological diversity to the site, improving connectivity with the surrounding neighbourhood and supporting the area’s long-term environmental resilience.
