New Scheme – Brook House

25th April 2024

We are pleased to have been appointed as the main contractor on a new affordable homes scheme at Gunnersbury Lane for L&Q, one of the UK’s leading housing associations and developers, on behalf of Women’s Pioneer Housing.

Brook House will comprise 102 new homes over 15 storeys and is located opposite Acton Town Underground Station. The homes will be let at social rents to single women by Women’s Pioneer Housing, a specialised housing association founded in 1920 by suffragists. The organisation aims to support women who face inequality, abuse and disadvantages, especially in the housing market.

Initial works will involve the demolition of existing buildings on the site, which have become uneconomic to repair and are unsuitable for refurbishment. We will aim to minimise disruption throughout the construction of these new homes and our community liaison team will keep in regular contact with local residents and businesses. We will also maximise opportunities to contribute positively to the local community throughout this scheme, particularly in relation to education, employment and skills development.
