Plans are underway for a major redevelopment of the former Master Brewer site in Hillingdon, with proposals for up to 818 new homes, commercial space, and landscaping improvements.
The 3.39-hectare site, located near Hillingdon Underground station, has been vacant since 2012. The sites developer is preparing to submit a full planning application, but first, a technical step called an EIA Screening Request is being considered by Hillingdon Council.
The proposed scheme includes a mix of one, two, three, and four-bedroom homes, as well as up to 700m² of commercial space, 234 car parking spaces, and sustainable drainage features.
The development aims to improve biodiversity and connect to the green space to the east, near the Green Belt. Although the site is largely brownfield land, a smaller area falls within the Green Belt and is a designated Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC), which will be used for landscaping and biodiversity enhancements.
If the EIA Screening Request is approved, the full planning application will follow, which will be subject to public consultation. This application will be supported by a long list of technical reports including transport, noise, air quality, daylight/sunlight, ecology, heritage and more.
Residents in nearby areas will then have the opportunity to view detailed plans and submit comments or objections.
