Assael Architecture's plans for the regeneration of a former 1.85-hectare (4.6-acre) industrial site in Brentford, west London, have been given the green light by local councillors.

Hounslow Council has approved proposals for a £100m redevelopment of the Alfa Laval site, which has been derelict for more than two decades and will see the existing Alfa tower retained. The plans - submitted by the London-based architects on behalf of Carlton Properties - include a 180-bedroom and a 151-bedroom hotel; 4,205sq m (45,262sq ft) of office space and residential units.

New public open spaces, pedestrian and cycle routes and "extensive" ecological improvements are also planned as part of the scheme, which aims to open up the site to the public for the first time in years. Assael Architecture managing director John Assael said: "Having secured consent, a strategic and derelict site can be brought back into use and the challenging transformation of this pivotal part of Brentford can finally get underway."
