Town Quay have been engaged by a private client to oversee the overall development of a well-positioned brown field site adjacent to the River Thames in the London Borough of Hounslow. After assembling an extensive team of external consultants to provide the required technical inputs, a scheme was conceived and refined over the course of 4 pre-planning applications to deliver sixty new affordable homes for the local community.

As of November 2023, a full planning application has been submitted which is in the process of being consulted upon. It is anticipated that planning permission subject to a Section 106 agreement will be granted in early/mid 2024.

During the development process Town Quay have had to manage many challenges on the site, including addressing concerns in terms of flood defence and mitigation, heritage impacts and late stage design changes to accommodate emerging policy in respect of fire safety in taller blocks, all whilst keeping the project on programme and on budget.

Services Utilised:

• Planning Consultancy
• Development Management
• Management of External Consultants and Contractors
• Contractual management on behalf of the client

The property comprises a mid-terrace building arranged over five floors to include a basement. Having been engaged during the first period of lock down, we undertook a comprehensive review of the planning position in respect of the property and identified an opportunity to improve that which had been granted in 2019. Working with a local architect, we conceived of a new scheme that reflected the significance of the late Victorian property and the role that it plays within the Harley Street conservation area. Town Quay achieved planning for a redesigned building to create a larger more open plan restaurant across basement ground and first floor levels with three new luxury apartments above.

Town Quays’ role in the scheme has been all encompassing and having initially managed the exit of the previous tenant who had been in occupation for nearly forty years, including handling all dilapidations inhouse, we oversaw all planning matter and engaged directly with the various consultants required to complete a project of this complexity. Acting as retained project managers for the client, we have overseen every aspect of the construction phase which as of November 2023 is very close to achieving practical completion.  Given our experience in the field, we have engaged and managed the external letting consultants agreeing a pre let of the commercial element early within the build process to provide certainty for the client.

Services Utilised:

• Planning Consultancy
• Development Management
• Business Rates management and mitigation
• Dilapidations and compensation in accordance with the provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act.
