Brentford FC, together with its advancement partner Be (formerly Willmott Dixon Residential), provided amendments to the authorized Brentford neighborhood stadium advancement to members of the London Borough of Hounslow (LBH) planning committee last week, August 24, ahead of plans being submitted early September for the Council to consider. These are the final modifications which, subject to approval by LBH, will mean building of the new stadium will begin early in 2018 with the aim of completion by late 2019 or early 2020.
Since the original planning permission was granted in June 2014, considerable modifications have taken location both within the advancement market as well as in relation to English Premier league (EPL) football as well as Premiership rugby union requirements. As a result, the Club as well as Be have undertaken a detailed review, to ensure the stadium is Premier league compliant upon completion; to improve the metropolitan as well as residential design; as well as to reduce the dangers from the stadium building process as well as its future operation.
The result is a stadium that is smaller in capability (down from 20,000 seats to 17,250) as well as which will be sited three metres south of its original location. This will enable the incorporation of a road at the northern perimeter to enhance gain access to with the site as well as simplicity the building restrictions imposed Camiseta Brighton & Hove Albion FC by a site bounded on all sides by railway lines.

The stadium as well as the enabling residential advancement will stay within the planning envelope authorized in 2014 as well as there is no boost in either the height or the general number of houses within the residential development.
These amendments will not effect on the general high quality of the stadium. In fact, recent successful seasons in the championship have only served to harden the resolve of the owner, Matthew Benham, as well as the administration team of Brentford Football Club to continue its quest of EPL status. This is illustrated by the truth that a key amendment includes the inclusion of Premier League-compliant outside broadcast facilities within the stadium itself, together with facilities to satisfy the latest EPL demands for illumination Camiseta Santos Laguna as well as media.

Instead, it’s suggested that the Trust’s offices, discovering zone as well as Hounslow’s Interim education Centre will be housed in the ground as well as very first floor of the central Eastern residential block, promptly next to the stadium, providing them devoted facilities which can be utilized 365 days a year, something that was not possible if they had been found in the stadium.
The suggested amendments to the residential advancement are focussed around the very first phase as well as particularly about improving the experience for all those who will come to enjoy the site. A new square which knits the apartment buildings as well as the stadium together provides a appropriate primary entrance to the stadium, whilst the addition of non-residential utilizes around the square will make it somewhere people will want to find on non-match days. The look of the buildings has been improved to make them much more in keeping with the existing design in the regional area as well as the apartment buildings themselves have been re-planned to much better fit market needs. Of the 910 houses consented for the scheme, 487 will be provided in the very first phase with residents able to both lease as well as buy.

I would like to say thanks to the fans of Brentford FC for their support as well as patience during this last stage of detailed planning.
