182 council homes approved for Brentford estate regeneration
11 August 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Hounslow Council has appointed a contractor to deliver 182 new affordable homes as part of the regeneration of the Charlton House and Albany House estate in Brentford. The builder selected is Higgins Partnerships, and the development will be 100% affordable — all homes will be let at council rent levels rather than sold on the open market.
The Charlton House and Albany House site sits just east of Chiswick, and the scheme is part of a broader programme by Hounslow to replace ageing housing stock with new-build council homes. Projects of this kind typically take two to three years from contractor appointment to residents moving in, though a construction timeline has not yet been published.
For Chiswick residents, the development is a near-neighbour story: it will add meaningfully to the affordable housing supply in the borough and may ease some pressure on the local housing register. Full details are available on the Hounslow Council website.
