By working closely with national developers and local partners, we ensure that new
developments not only meet planning requirements but also bring even greater benefits to the community.
At Hounslow Council, we recognise that Social Value is not just about the constructing
buildings; it’s about investing in people, their skills, and the local economy. It means maximising the
most of what development projects can offer Hounslow,
such as improving the area, funding community programmes and supporting local businesses. This approach
can enhance the social, economic and environmental aspects of the borough.
The Council utilises Section 106 contributions to support the community by focusing on
affordable housing, jobs, skills training, infrastructure, and education. By providing quality housing,
career opportunities, and dedicated services, we
work with developers, businesses, and residents to design initiatives that meet residents’ needs,
support local suppliers and align training with industry demands. We also ensure that progress is
tracked and shared through regular updates
and success stories.
We want to ensure that we deliver projects that can improve green spaces, expand cycle
lanes and improve energy efficiency, contributing to a Greener, Thriving and more Liveable Hounslow.
