Brentford Community Stadium History
In October 2002, after several years of speculation about a possible relocation, Brentford Football Club announced plans to move to a 20,000-capacity stadium near Kew Bridge. This included an ambitious monorail proposal, which was later dropped from the scheme. After several years of uncertainty, the project suddenly returned to public attention in late 2007 when the club announced that it had secured an option on the site.
This was followed in February 2008 when a partnership agreement with Barratt Homes to develop the site was announced.
The club’s plan to move into a new community stadium took a big step forward when, on 28 June 2012, the club purchased the 7.6 acres (31,000 m2) site in Lionel Road, Brentford, from Barratt Homes, which had originally acquired the land in January 2008. The club aimed to build a 20,000-capacity stadium on the ground in time for the 2016–17 season, with an option to expand it to 25,000 seats.
In December 2013, the Hounslow council gave the club approval for the new stadium and further approval was sought and received from the Mayor of London and the government in December 2013.
Attention then shifted to acquiring the remaining land, necessary to enable the condo development, and completing the development agreement. A Compulsory Purchase Order for the remainder of the land was approved in the summer of 2014, and although negotiations continued, various objections to the CPO resulted in a rehearing in September 2015. The development agreement was signed with Willmott Dixon in December 2014. The CPO was approved in April 2016 and the process ended on September 1, 2016.
