The Future Of Hanworth Park House

The Friends of Hanworth Park House are working with all stakeholders, the current owner; Gary Cottle and Hounslow Council to secure the regeneration of the house, and to secure access for community use, including a museum to tell the story of this amazing place and surrounding area.

FoHPH hope to use the public community spaces within and around the house for a variety of uses including arts and crafts, café, heritage trails along the Longford river, education programme for youth and adults, weddings, conference hire, landscape gardens, play grounds, outside events, and much more. Funding for this would be secured by ‘enabling development’ around the site, as well as potentially additional funding from other charities or funders.

Civic Pride At HPH

**Hanworth Park House has the potential to be a heritage hub that connects the local community, and combines civic pride with more active and healthy lifestyles.**

Hanworth Park Run

In 2019 the Friends of Hanworth Park House helped support a new Hanworth parkrun, which currently starts immediately outside the house. Through community fares and car shows, we have also revived the spirit of some the historical events that were once part of the areas history, such as the Hanworth Carnival.
We hope to establish a series of culture events either within the house and/or surrounding grounds, for example, outdoor film events, classic car events in conjunction with the Aston Martin Collectors group and bringing back the Hanworth Classic car show.
Further updates on the future of Hanworth Park House will be updated on this website while progress is made between all stakeholders.

Update 25/04/2021

The London Borough of Hounslow and AGC Property Limited are developing a joint proposal for the restoration of Hanworth Park House supported by new private and council homes in its surrounding. The purpose of this resident engagement is to get initial feedback from the local community in order to shape the evolving proposals. Hanworth Park House is a privately owned Grade II Listed building. The house has been left empty for over 25 years and is in very poor condition and at serious risk of collapse. The current owners of the house, AGC Property Limited, have been working with the council to progress a joint planning application to enable restoration of the house. The proposal will deliver a conservation led restoration and refurbishment of the Grade II Listed House, as well as regeneration and opening up to the public the surrounding overgrown Green Belt woodland. The proposal offers a range of ecological, heritage and community benefits to the broader Hanworth Park. The new homes will be designed to be highly energy efficient, incorporating sustainability principles in line with Council’s Climate Emergency Action Plan.

Please visit this link to have your say and to look at the below plans which will open much clearer once you open the proposal slides.
