Hillingdon Council marked the start of the first phase of construction on its Yiewsley redevelopment project, which will create 95 affordable homes, with a groundbreaking ceremony. Supported by grant funding from the Greater London Authority, the scheme will deliver a mixture of one, two and three-bed homes across two sites; 45 on the former swimming pool site at Otterfield Road and 50 at nearby Falling Lane, alongside an enhanced replacement library and community facility, and park improvements at Yiewsley Recreation Ground. Cllr Jonathan Bianco, Deputy Leader of Hillingdon Council and Cabinet Member for Corporate Services and Property and Cllr Steve Tuckwell, Hillingdon Council’s Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing and Growth were joined by representatives from Bugler Developments, who will be carrying out the construction works, at Otterfield Road for the ceremony. The development will also include the installation of air source heat pumps and solar panels to help reduce energy costs for future residents and support the council’s ambition to reduce carbon emissions. Cllr Tuckwell said: “This is another great example of how we are utilising brownfield land near our town centres to create much-needed affordable housing and further investment into the area. “With properties in high demand, it’s fantastic that this project will deliver 95 new homes for our residents, alongside improvements for the whole community with an improved, larger library and park upgrades.” Andy Bugler, Bugler Group CEO said, “It was great to welcome many representatives from Hillingdon Council to our groundbreaking ceremony at a sunny Otterfield Road. As Hillingdon is our neighbouring borough, it is wonderful to be building on our relationship with the council’s housing team, following the successful completion of our projects at Acol Crescent in Ruislip and Sullivan Crescent in Harefield, as well as our ongoing project at Charville Lane in Hayes. “Otterfield Road will see 45 new homes and a library built in Yiewsley, and, following today’s milestone event, the Bugler team are looking forward to progressing construction work on site.” The plans were approved by Hillingdon Council's Planning Committee in December 2023 and proposals were shaped using feedback from residents. The site at Otterfield Road is projected to complete in autumn 2026. Work will soon begin on the Falling Lane site. |
