The ambitious One Portal Way residential-led scheme will deliver up to 1,325 new homes across a range of tenures to create a new town centre at the heart of North Acton.
Designed by architects Pilbrow & Partners on behalf of Imperial College London, the proposals have been developed through detailed pre-application discussions with the London Borough of Ealing, the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation, and the Greater London Authority.
The hybrid planning application sets out a vision for eight major buildings in an area near the planned HS2 Old Oak station ranging between 6-55 storeys, stepping up to the northern and southern edges of the site.
