The Duffy site has outline planning permission. In 2014 planning permission was granted for the Brentford Community Stadium Masterplan. The planning permission was in two parts with detailed proposals for a 20,000-seat football stadium and associated infrastructure, together with outline proposals for up to 910 homes on the adjoining sites, including Duffy. The planning permission also included commercial uses and a hotel.

In 2018 a detailed design was developed for the Duffy site and consultation was undertaken with the community. In 2019 a planning application was submitted. The planning application was then updated to reflect the latest fire and building regulations and planning policy. The changes since 2019 increase the number of homes at Duffy from 275 to 294, 19 extra homes, of which 16 are affordable. We have now submitted the updated drawings and supporting technical documentation to the Council and we are awaiting a decision.

A Section 73 planning application has already been submitted to the Council in 2019, which proposes an amendment to the original outline planning permission granted in 2014. A Reserved Matters application was also submitted which confirmed the detailed design of this phase.

Finally, the current live planning application has been updated, swapping previously submitted drawings and documents with updated versions to reflect the updated design of the scheme, in order to address the latest building regulations, planning policy and guidance.

Consultation was carried out with the local community during 2018 to discuss the Duffy site after the outline permission had been granted, including a public exhibition, leaflets and local meetings. As a result of the consultation and feedback provided by the community, changes were made to the original scheme in relation to sustainability, improving energy performance and increasing cycle spaces.

We continued to work closely with the community, and a final consultation event before the updates were submitted took place on 6th May 2025. We will continue to keep the website updated with any progress.

Duffy is one of the sites that has funded the construction of the Brentford Community Stadium.

In addition, it will provide:

• New high-quality homes, including affordable homes

• A new play space, accessible to all

• Landscape improvements to the link between Gunnersbury Park and Kew Gardens

• Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payments, towards improvements to local infrastructure
