New pictures reveal what hundreds of proposed high-rise homes in Southall may soon look like.

Housing association Peabody says it is working in partnership with Ealing Council on the plans for the major redevelopment project, named The Green.

Still in the consultation phase, the developers say 50 per cent of the proposed 564 homes will be affordable.

The development will be built on a large car park area situated behind The Green, a high street that runs south from Southall station.

The computer-generated images show new-build style tower blocks with a pedestrian plaza below.

Peabody says a total of eight new buildings are planned, with 2,922 square metres of commercial space on the ground floor.

One image shows the towers of The Green from the grounds of the Grade II-listed Southall Manor House, built in the 16th century.

The development is within Southall Opportunity Area, revealed in 2014, which aimed to bring 6,000 new homes and 3,000 new jobs to the area.

Chris Lyons, Senior Development Manager at Peabody, said: “Southall has a rich heritage that we are keen to protect and nurture.

“We are supporting groups and businesses that will be impacted by the plans and we are keen to find new homes for community groups and businesses that wish to stay in the area, be that on-site or nearby.”

Southall will eventually be linked to central London by Crossrail trains which should take only 17 minutes.

Black-owned music and events venue Tudor Rose, bordering the development site, was originally earmarked for redevelopment.

The venue will now be enhanced as an “important cultural asset,” say Peabody.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service has contacted Ealing Council for comment on the development.
