Local council okays vast underground warehouse topped by park
An underground warehousing project near Heathrow Airport has moved forward after Hounslow councillors approved the proposal, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Covering the warehouse would be the largest new park in West London for more than 100 years, using extracted minerals from underneath the currently disused land.
The site, alongside The Parkway (A312) and Bath Road (A4), the latter being an important road link to Heathrow, will deliver Hounslow's share of minerals required by the London Plan, administered by the Mayor of London.
Some of the minerals will be used on-site to construct the up to 177,500-square metre of underground warehousing space.
The first areas of the new park will be available within 12 months of starting on site and will provide recreational space linking local communities which will include full size grass and all-weather football pitches.
Work is expected to begin in 2019 with the first area of the park opening in 2020 and the first underground warehouse space is expected to be available for businesses to use from 2022 during a 15 year period of extraction, construction and landscaping.
