“Through our network of local supply chain partners, we will be supporting the Hounslow pound alongside delivering much-needed places to live.”

With a view of supporting the 2030 zero-carbon goal of the council, the homes are planned to be 100% electric with an Air Source Heat Pump system.

This system will help provide hot water and heating to residents.

London Borough of Hounslow leader Steve Curran said: “We’ve worked tirelessly with our partners, Willmott Dixon, to make sure these homes are of high-quality and energy-efficient to meet the needs of our residents.”

Recently, Willmott Dixon was selected as a contractor by Rochdale Borough Council for a £60m regeneration project in Greater Manchester, UK.

Located next to the new Rochdale Riverside retail and leisure development, the Upperbanks project features 242 new apartments and a Hampton by Hilton hotel in the Rochdale town centre.
