1 Who we are & Why we are here
Habinteg are a Housing Association specialising in providing accessible homes to those who need them, within inclusive and welcoming The Lindens Bolton Road neighbourhoods. Our focus is on providing much-needed homes for those with disabilities, alongside other high-quality and well-designed properties for those who don’t currently have specialist requirements, but may in the future.
Our intention for this site, and other small sites within the Borough, is to maximise the opportunities to create high-quality homes, whilst minimising disruption to existing residents. In order to achieve these The Lindens goals, we are working in partnership with Hounslow Council, and have employed a team of specialist consultants, with vast experience in similar developments. The architects for the development are Levitt Bernstein, an award-winning design practice, and the planning consultants are Magenta Planning, a dynamic London-based consultancy.
What is happening As part of London Borough of Hounslow’s commitment to providing 5,000 new affordable homes by 2022. This site will provide affordable housing and be well- designed to meet the Council’s ambitions to become energy efficient.
Inspired by the GLA’s “Small Sites, Small Builders Programme”, the London Borough of Hounslow Council has identified a number of small sites within the Borough that may be able to be developed, to provide much-needed affordable and accessible housing.
The garage area within The Lindens has been identified as one such potential development site. Habinteg, a Housing Association who specialise in providing accessible and adaptable homes, are proposing to develop the site, in partnership with the Council.
These exhibition pages provide an opportunity for local residents to view the current proposals for the site, and offer comments and feedback that will enhance the designs. We would love to hear your comments, which can be submitted directly via Commonplace, phone message or email (see “How to get in touch” section below).
Comments from local residents are being collated and feedback will be responded to within the Statement of Community Involvement to be submitted alongside the planning application. Once a planning application has been submitted and validated by Hounslow Council, the Council will conduct its own statutory consultation programme with local residents. This will provide a further opportunity for residents give feedback directly to the Local Planning Authority, prior to the determination of the application.

This site lies at the end of ‘The Lindens’; a suburban cul-de-sac off 1 2 3 Hartington Road, in Chiswick. It is approximately 0.5 miles to the southwest of Chiswick Railway Station, which is served by regular South Western Railway trains to London Waterloo. The local bus network is accessible from nearby Bolton Road and Clifford Avenue.
The area is predominantly residential, with a number of schools and parks within a mile of the site, which currently comprises two rows of garages and a gravel hardstanding. It is bound at the rear by the gardens of two detached houses along Bolton Road to the north.
Two flatted blocks lie to the east. The northern most block, which comprisesOpportunities three storeys, has a number of windows which face directly into the site, albeit largely screened by mature trees on the boundary Improve appearance of the site with new active frontage line. The other block presents a blank flank wall to the site. The 4 5 6 southern andBuffer western zone edges between are existing bound LHS by buildingtwo storey, and proposed semi-detached houses. Proposed amenity space along eastern and northern edges Retention of Cat.A veteran tree A number of mature trees to the north and west give the site its quiet, pleasant leafy character but some trimming back and root protection would need to be considered. Moreover a Cat.A veteran tree is present at the northernmost corner of the site which will be retained.
