  • GSK Headquarters, 980 Great West Road
    Sustainable Development Committee – 03.02.04 Rep7411 Lesley Underwood (tel.020 8583 5207) Lesley.Underwood @hounslow.gov.uk 00505/W/P69 P/2003/1345 (LU) 1.0 SITE 1.1 GLAXO SMITHKLINE HEADQUARTERS, 980 GREAT WEST ROAD, BRENTFORD, (OSTERLEY AND SPRING GROVE) (16.4.2003). 2.0 PROPOSAL 2.1 This proposal seeks permission for an additional 179 car parking spaces, to include some surface parking and an additional storey on the existing multi-storey car park near to Boston Manor Road. This would increase the parking on site from 1,045 to 1,224 spaces. (Drawing Numbers: CL/6197/6, Traffic Statement, Landscape Statement, Planning Statement, 3036.01.SK.01 Rev D Sheets 1-4, SKS/01RevP1- SKS/04RevP1, SKS/09RevP1, SKS/10RevP2, SKS/11RevP1). 3.0 INTRODUCTION 3.1 GlaxoSmithKline, formerly known as Smithkline Beecham have occupied several major sites along the Great West Road since the 1950’s. The company chose to develop a new International Headquarters Building on a new site along the Great West Road, and in March 2001 relocated their staff from existing sites at New Horizons Court and Wallis House to GSK House. Located at the junction of the Great West Road and Boston Manor Road, GSK House is probably the most prestigious development to have been built in the Borough during the last decade. It is a highly visible landmark building which has an immense impact on the image of the Great West Road as a gateway to London and a strategic employment location within London. 3.2 Prior to moving to the site, GSK envisaged having 2,500 people working at the site and anticipated that this was likely to rise to 3,000 over a ten year period.
