Planning Application Submitted for Brickfield Close

Proposal to add another floor to create eighteen additional flats

Brickfield Close (Google Street View)

Hounslow Council has submitted plans to create an additional storey on top of four existing three storey blocks at Field Lane and Brickfield Close, as part of a wider plan to create new homes through rooftop developments.

The new floor on top of these existing blocks would provide 18 properties. Ten would be two-bedroom flats and 8 one-bedroom flats.

A new playground will be added along with improvements to landscaping and communal areas. Nine new off-street car park spaces will be added. Parking for 50 bicylces will also be introduced.

A public consultation took place in 2019. Issues raise included concerns about the height of the building, oversighting and overshadowing, some suggestions about plans for the soft landscaping around the block, and positive feedback on the secure cycle storage.

The additional floor will provide six more flats: 3 x 1 bed, 2 x 2 beds and 1 x 3 beds.

Proposed new elevation to Block 4
