A new housing development of up to 940 homes, at least 40 per cent of which will be affordable, is to be built on the site of Hounslow Civic Centre beside Lampton Park after being given the go ahead. The council offices will move to a smaller and more cost-efficient new civic centre, incorporating a library and cafe, on the site of a car park in Bath Road, just west of Hounslow High Street.
