Up to 1,300 new homes are to be built in Hayes, West London.

Hillingdon Council has approved plans to develop a mixed-use scheme at the former Nestle factory in the town, which will be delivered by SEGRO and Barratt London.

As well as the new homes, 230,000 sq ft of modern light industrial space will be developed along with three hectares of new public spaces, an accessible 1.3 km public trim trail to a redeveloped canal frontage, improvements to local road junctions (including the Bulls Bridge Roundabout) as well as 2,000 cycle spaces installed, with electric vehicle charging points and extensive landscaping.

Around 350 jobs will be created during the construction phase and around 500 permanent jobs created by the employment space delivered by SEGRO.

Overall, SEGRO is responsible for the industrial element and Barratt London will be responsible for delivering the homes and community space on the site.

Alan Holland, SEGRO's Business Director of Greater London, said: "We are delighted to have reached this milestone in the journey of delivering the jobs and homes that are needed. It is the first time that an industrial property company has created a vision that will deliver modern light industrial space alongside a high quality residential scheme and we're proud that we're the pioneers for this.

"We look forward to working with Barratt London and the local council to discharge the conditions to enable us to begin on site to deliver the employment space and create the jobs for the local community."

Matt Calladine, Regional Land and Development Director for Barratt London, said: "We look forward to continuing our discussions with all stakeholders to ensure this development delivers the transformational impact that the exceptional site deserves.

"Reaching this stage in the planning process has been enormously gratifying for the entire team, who have put so much effort into the design and vision of over 1,300 new homes that will be a much needed addition to the neighbourhood."
