Our borough
Home to 288,000 residents, Hounslow is a varied and diverse Borough that stretches from Zone 2 through to the home counties.
To the east lie urban centres like Brentford and Chiswick, and to the west an increasingly suburban character punctuated by other lively centres like Isleworth, Hounslow and Feltham.
These places are surrounded by a mix of urban and suburban residential areas of diverse character and density. Similarly, richly-varied green spaces are spread across the Borough from west to east.
We want to see outstanding housing throughout Hounslow. Housing needs to meet a range of challenges, some of which are universal such as the need for a fulfilling home, future-proof building stock, and an effective response to the climate emergency.
At the same time it is important to recognise that our Borough is not one simple homogeneous place but a richly complex tapestry of different places, people and building types.
This requires housing that is both high quality and appropriate to its social, physical, and cultural context.
