The Council plans to renovate Burlington House and would like to hear from the local community on if and how this could affect them.
The survey is open until Monday 16 March 2026.
Overview
Burlington House is a Grade II listed building locatedon Bedfont Green. The building is arranged over three floors and has a large garden with several mature trees. It is bordered by St Marys Church, Bedfont Close, and Longleat Way.
The building is owned by London Borough of Hounslow and has been vacant for several years. It was last used by a Supported Living service.While vacant it had fallen into disrepairand requiredremedial works. It is currently security gated and remote monitored.
The Council has considered options for the building, and with an urgent need to increase the supply of children's homes for looked after children, is proposing to repurpose the building and it's grounds as a children's residential home.
The Council is seeking your views to inform the planning submission and project design.
Background
In 2019/2020 the Council considered options for the building including remodelling the building into self-contained flats. An engagement exercise and planning application were completed for this option, but this did not proceed. Details of this proposal can be found on the Councils planning portal Search planning applications | London Borough of Hounslow using the reference “ P/2020/1727”
Hounslow has an urgent need to increase the supply of children’s homes for looked after children particularlyfor complex needs. These children are often placed a significant distance from their family networks because of a lack of local provision, which negatively impacts their care experience and beyond. Reliance on the external market also places significant financial strain on the Council.
The plan is therefore to repurpose the building and its grounds as a children's residential home.
Why we are asking
Before submitting a planning application in the coming months, we want to understand:
• any concerns you may have
• any local impacts we should take into account
• suggestions to help shape the proposal
Your feedback will help inform our planning submission and project design.
A planning proposal is anticipated to be submitted in the coming months and will be published online for planning consultation at Hounslow's planning portal(External link).
Ward Councillors will also be briefed, and planning and heritage officers are involved to ensure the proposals respect the building’s listed status.
Who we want to hear from
Everyone is welcome to participate;we particularly want to hear from the nearest neighbours and community groups to Burlington House.
The project is being developed in partnership with health and social care professionals and will also include consultation with young people with lived experience.
We are also taking advice from Planning and Heritage officers ahead of submission.
