Plans for 21 new family homes on Haydon Drive in Northwood have been given the green light.
Approved on Thursday, September 4, Hillingdon Council’s application will demolish 16 existing studio bungalows and create six three-bed and 15 four-bed homes for residents on the housing register.
These affordable properties will aim to address the need for larger council homes.
Three of the homes will be fully adaptable for wheelchair access, with flexible features that can be tailored to provide improved living conditions for families with complex needs.
The development will also include individual gardens, parking, electric vehicle charging points, open space, and a communal children’s play area.
Initial design proposals were moulded from resident feedback during a consultation in March to ensure the appearance and scale of the new houses blended with the local neighbourhood.
The first phase of work is set to begin in 2026 once a contractor has been appointed.
Speaking to Northwood & Ruislip News, councillor Steve Tuckwell, cabinet member for planning and growth, said: “Haydon Drive is a fantastic opportunity for us to continue constructing new, much-needed affordable homes by repurposing brownfield land near our town centres.
“The plans will replace an outdated site that no longer works for local families, by creating larger, high-quality council homes, which are greatly sought after, while also revitalising the neighbourhood.”
