Planning permission has been secured for the transformation of 980 Great West Road in Brentford, marking a major milestone for the reuse-led redevelopment of the former GSK headquarters. Working with Hadley Property Group, Haworth Tompkins led the masterplan and retention strategy for the 13-acre site, establishing a reuse-first approach that repurposes the existing basement substructure and tower structure to significantly reduce embodied carbon. The approved scheme will deliver a new mixed-use neighbourhood including 2,300 homes and 300,000 sq.ft of commercial, community and educational space. Haworth Tompkins is leading the masterplan and designing several plots across the site, with dRMM, Metropolitan Workshop LLP and Studio Egret West, as plot architects, Studio Egret West as landscape architects and Turley as planning consultant.
“Working with Hadley over the past two years to develop a masterplan rooted in their bold vision for a vibrant, regenerative neighbourhood emerging from a vacant corporate campus has been an exciting journey. It has been a genuine team effort, working closely with our co-designers Studio Egret West, Metropolitan Workshop and dRMM, as well as the London Borough of Hounslow, local residents and businesses. Together we have sought to ensure that circular economy principles, adaptive reuse and landscape are fundamental to the masterplan, shaping a place that is open, connected and sustainable. We are delighted to see the project reach this significant milestone and look forward to seeing the masterplan become a reality.” Chris Fellner, Director Haworth Tompkins
