A Development Agreement has been signed to develop a new 20,000 capacity stadium for Brentwood Football Club.

The agreement, signed by developer Wilmott Dixon and the Club, will also include other community facilities, new homes and shops.

In addition, Willmott Dixon will take forward plans for Brentford's existing stadium at Griffin Park.

The Club will contribute its land at the Lionel Road South site where Willmott Dixon, as development partner, will build the stadium, associated infrastructure and 910 new homes, including 338 that will be available specifically for private rent under Willmott Dixon's Private Rental Sector (PRS) company be:here.

When the new stadium is open, The Bees will relocate from Griffin Park, where Willmott Dixon will develop 70 three- and four-bedroom family homes for private sale. The development will include a memorial garden to commemorate the history of the football ground where the Club has played since 1904.

The next immediate step is for London Borough of Hounslow to issue the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) to enable the Club to complete the land assembly.

Meanwhile, the Club and Willmott Dixon will progress all the essential permissions and preparatory work to ensure a start on site later this year.
