29 Sep Green light for Hayes housing schemes

Housing bosses in Hillingdon have signed off two flagship regeneration schemes for Hayes town centre.

The two deals, centred on the redevelopment of Austin Road and Avondale Drive Estates, will now go ahead in the autumn, following approval of masterplans for both estates by Hillingdon Council’s planning committee.

The schemes, a partnership between the council and developer Higgins Partnerships,  will deliver around 740 new homes – 50% for sale and 50% affordable – from flats to family-sized homes.

The phasing of the two projects will allow as many current residents as possible to move into the new homes on site.

Approval of the masterplans followed extensive consultation with residents on the designs.

Declan Higgins, Partnerships Director at Higgins Partnerships, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Hillingdon Council to deliver high quality sustainable homes across these exciting sites and throughout the wider borough.

“As well as creating places people are proud to call their home, we will be working with the local community to provide training and employment opportunities for those wishing to start a career in the industry.”
