Technical requirements: Transport for London (TfL) is considering launching a procurement process to appoint a joint venture property development partner for multi-phased, mixed use redevelopment of two current transport operations sites in Acton, West London. These well connected residential led opportunities are within a few hundred metres of each other and should deliver c.1 700 new homes, over 2 000 m
The first part of the opportunity at Bollo Lane is the subject of a hybrid planning application submitted on 20 March 2020, which has a detailed application for a 195 home residential block which includes 520 m
The second part of the opportunity is north of Acton Town Station and comprises part of the land that makes up Ealing Common Depot. Detailed pre-application advice has been given supporting a development that could deliver over 800 new homes.
It is anticipated that the first part of this opportunity (at Bollo Lane) will come forward into the joint venture ahead of the second part (Land at Ealing Common Depot) and that the triggers/structure for this second part coming forward are being considered.
Prior to initiating the procurement, TfL is seeking initial market feedback from interested parties. Details of how to participate in the process and obtain further information is included below.
TfL is considering launching a procurement process to appoint a joint venture property development partner to provide development management, construction management and delivery and property sales services for multi-phased, mixed use redevelopment of two current transport operations sites in Acton, West London. The sites will be offered to market on a long leasehold basis.
Bollo Lane is a 2.8-hectare site located directly south of Acton Town London Underground Station, along the west side of Bollo Lane. It is currently occupied by a mix of operational and light industrial tenants but will be vacated prior to disposal. A hybrid planning application was submitted on the 20 March 2020 to the London Borough of Ealing. This includes a full detailed application for a 195 home, 25 storey block at the southern point of the site that includes 514 m
This 2.6-hectare site is located to the north of Acton Town London Underground Station. It is currently occupied by operational tenants and is home to London Transport Museum (LTM) storage facility. The operational buildings will be vacated prior to disposal however a replacement storage facility for the LTM will need to be provided as part of the development proposals. Clear and well-defined requirements for the replacement facility will be provided during the procurement process.
A formal pre-application process has been undertaken with the London Borough of Ealing which has established an acceptable residential density of around 800 new homes plus a new storage facility for LTM. TfL may seek to pursue an outline application on the site alongside this procurement process.
It is anticipated that the first part of this opportunity (at Bollo Lane) will come forward into the joint venture ahead of the second part (Land at Ealing Common Depot) and that the triggers/structure for this second part coming forward are being considered.
TfL may elect to tender both sites as a package with the appointed developer being responsible for developing sites 1 and 2. As part of early market engagement, feedback is welcomed on this approach and TfL’s proposed commercial structure for such an arrangement.
The estimated total value listed at II.1.5). is based on a combined anticipated development value for site 1 (Bollo Lane) and site 2 (Land at Ealing Common Depot). The anticipated development value of site 1 (Bollo Lane) is in the region of GBP 350 million. The anticipated development value for site 2 (Land at Ealing Common Depot) is in the region of GBP 320 million.
The development value is based on up to date market analysis and includes 50 % on-site affordable housing by habitable room. Density levels have been established by working with the local planning authority and the Greater London Authority (GLA).
TfL has a commitment to help deliver the much-needed affordable homes that London requires and therefore we are targeting an on-site affordable housing provision of 50 % by habitable room.
