The vision
Our vision is that housing in Hounslow will be of exemplary quality. This is a fundamental part of the Council’s ambition for people to live in homes that work for them and in neighbourhoods where they can belong, look out for each other, and play a role in their local community. This document is a key part of our ambition to create high quality, extraordinary places that will become a legacy for the future.
We will see fulfilling homes that are comfortable and uplifting in the short and long-term, which are part of thriving neighbourhoods and where empowered communities play a significant role in both their design and life.
They will be surrounded by, and will contribute to, inclusive shared spaces and public realm, and, properly acknowledging the climate emergency, will be specified to the highest standard in terms of future-proof building.
This Vision is intended to inform both the design and management of new dwellings in the borough, as well as improvements to existing homes. It is intended as the first step in a long- term commitment to delivering exemplar housing quality in Hounslow.
