Transport for London have chosen Barratt London as their joint venture partner to help build 900 new homes at Bollo Lane in Acton. 

Ealing Council confirmed in January 2021 that they had given permission to build on the Bollo Lane site, with the proviso that 50% of the housing be affordable, the new development will also provide new green spaces, play areas, new footpaths, and pavements for the local community. 

The development will be done in three phases, the first phase will see 195 build to rent homes, the second delivering around 450 homes, and the final phase adding an additional 250 homes. 

Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor for Housing said: "This new development in Acton will provide affordable housing for hundreds of families and is a great example of how TfL land can be used to deliver much needed homes for Londoners. 

"The new commercial space, as well as the green spaces and new walking and cycling areas will benefit not just the new residents but all those who live and work in the area." 

The partnership between TfL and Barratt London could also add additional land in North Acton to the partnership to deliver a new facility for the London Transport Museum and another 800 homes.

"The regeneration of this site will be an exciting addition to South Acton and will bring much needed new homes to the area, with 50 per cent affordable housing.  

"Its positive impact will be felt in Acton and Ealing with the delivery of jobs and homes for local residents, as well as enabling access to open space for the wider community and those that visit the area."
