Building homes and communities

H&F is building more affordable, accessible, safe and sustainable housing.

Hammersmith & Fulham Council is building brand new affordable homes across the borough. These are homes that help enable the thousands of people in the borough on low incomes to make ends meet.

Our Housing Strategy is delivering the new homes through a range of innovative partnerships with housing associations – an example of the council using its assets to build shared prosperity. 

In addition, our Community Schools Programme is proposing to fund the building of new schools through the sale of homes on redeveloped sites. 

H&F is also working with the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation to provide even more new homes in the borough as part of their development of the site. 

54 new affordable homes have been completed in 2022, with 236 more currently under construction.

  • Lillie Road former nursery and tenants & residents association hall

    Lillie Road - CGI

    Overview

    We have worked with residents to develop the designs for new homes and a new community hall on the site of the former nursery and Tenant & Resident Association Hall, (70-80 Lillie Road).

    A residents’ advisory panel has been established and in-person and on-line public events were held and alongside a number of door knocking and pop-up exercises. Over 150 residents have taken part in the co-production process for the designs of this proposed development.

    The proposed buildings will be operationally net zero carbon by energy-efficient design and eliminating the use of fossil fuels.

    As the developer of this project, Hammersmith & Fulham Council will retain the ownership of the site and will manage all affordable homes, along with the maintenance of all communal areas.

    New homes

    Current proposals for the site include 42 new homes of which 50% will be affordable (including social rented and shared ownership homes). 10% of the new homes will be wheelchair accessible.

    Current position

    The plans for the new development were approved by the Planning and Development Committee of H&F Council on Tuesday 6 June 2023.

    Next steps

    We will be working with the residents’ advisory panel to select a construction contractor to deliver the new homes and Tenants Association Hall.

  • Mund Street former school site

    Overview

    A former school site, now surplus to educational requirements, offers an opportunity to provide much needed new housing.

    New homes

    Early feasibility studies indicate capacity for approx. 100 new homes on the site of which at least 50% will be affordable. 60% of the new affordable homes will be for social rent, and 40% shared ownership.

    Current position

    Since the first public consultation in June further tests have been carried out on the land of the old school site, the area where we are proposing to build the new homes. This has been necessary to locate certain essential utilities such as drainage and power lines.

    We will be ready to hold the next public consultation events at the beginning of 2023. Residents will be invited to attend where they will be able to discuss the current designs with the architects and other members of the development team.
