Galliford Try Partnerships is to create a new mixed-use scheme at Perceval House, delivering 470 new homes, alongside council offices and other community facilities.

The firm signed a development agreement with Ealing Council.

The proposed development, worth an estimated £275million, includes 50 per cent affordable homes, with more than half of these homes provided at social rent and London living rent.

Additionally, the plans include a new council headquarters building, a new library and customer services centre, new retail premises and residential and commercial parking areas.

Galliford Try Partnerships and the council will now consult the local community and key stakeholders on the proposals, before a planning application is submitted later this year.

The construction of the new civic centre comes at no cost to council tax payers as the receipts from the sale of the land and residential units will offset the cost of building the new headquarters.

Councillor Julian Bell, leader of Ealing Council, said: "Our offices are in a key town centre location, but at the moment we aren't making the best use of this important site.

"These plans will deliver much-needed genuinely affordable homes in our town centre, supporting our pledge of 2,500 new homes.At no cost to the council, it will also provide us with a brand-new customer service centre and library, and a smaller, more modern and cheaper to maintain and run office block."

The scheme is expected to be completed by 2025, subject to planning consent.
