A HOUSING development in Gunnersbury Lane, Acton, that will provide 102 homes for the Women’s Pioneer Housing Association, has been given the go-ahead.
WPH has been housing single women for more than a century.
RID Architects will create 100 one-bedroom homes, and two of two bedrooms, replacing existing buildings that are no longer fit for purpose.
Ten of the new homes have been allocated for people with disabilities, and Brook House will be made up of 100% affordable homes.
Lifts will be provided, while energy consumption will be a fraction of what it is now in the current building.
Architects will retain most of the existing mature trees on site and instal a wheelchair-friendly communal roof garden, as well as a sensory garden at ground level.
