Emerging practice Newground Architects has won permission for the latest phase of the £250million regeneration of the Old Vinyl Factory in Hayes, west London
The 183-home scheme has been drawn up for HUB and Bridges Ventures – the joint venture which bought the Material Store site from Development Securities/Cathedral Group last year – and replaces previous designs by Duggan Morris.
Approved by Hillingdon Council, the project features four brick-clad residential blocks arranged around a raised, shared courtyard space.
The development is the sister scheme to HUB’s already approved Boiler House proposals – a 54-unit project also on the 1927 Art Deco complex which was the home of record label EMI until the mid-1970s.
Other buildings, including the Power House, the Assembly Buildings are being looked at by the site’s masterplanners Studio Egret West with AHMM working on refurbishing other structures including the Record Store and Surface-to-Air taking on the overhaul of the Picture House.
Once finished in 2022, the wider 7ha Old Vinyl Factory redevelopment will eventually create 630 homes and 70,000m² of office and leisure space including a museum, restaurants, shops and bars.
Steve Sanham, development director at HUB, said: ‘We’re delighted our proposals for the Material Store have been accepted, and with planning permission granted, we can look forward to moving onto the next phase of what is promising to be west London’s most exciting regeneration project.’
