West London Alliance - Affordable Workspace Study

Avison Young and Architecture 00, have been commissioned to prepare an affordable workspace study for the eight planning authorities comprising of the West London Alliance sub-region. Working to a steering group consisting of the London Boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) and the West London Alliance the consultant team have been tasked with identifying the needs for, and potential approaches to delivering, affordable workspace across West London. 

The document aims to: 

• Consider the notion of “affordable workspace” by developing the concept of “workspace” in terms of typologies, operators, operating models and rental models. It carries on defining the notion of affordability and the different tools available to achieve “affordability”. 

• Focus on the justification for public intervention and the need to deliver affordable workspace to support local economic growth both now and in the future. 

• Set out the potential range of appropriate interventions that can help to overcome the delivery challenges and secure a new portfolio of affordable workspace within West London.
