Approval Granted for GSK Headquarters Redevelopment in Brentford
The redevelopment of the former GSK headquarters at 980 Great West Road has been approved, set to deliver 2,300 new homes, including 35% affordable housing. This project aims to enhance community connectivity and sustainability in Brentford.

In March 2026, a planning application for the redevelopment of the GSK headquarters was approved, covering 13 acres. The project will construct 2,300 homes, with 35% designated as affordable. It includes improvements to pedestrian and cycling routes, enhancing connectivity to Brentford town centre.
Buro Happold, collaborating with Hadley Property Group, implemented a bespoke circular economy strategy to minimize carbon impact while retaining existing structures. The design addresses challenges from nearby M4 motorway noise, optimizing energy use and daylight through parametric tools. This redevelopment is poised to positively influence the local community and sustainability initiatives.
