Plans to set up a new development corporation tasked with building 24,000 new homes and creating 55,000 jobs in the Old Oak Common and Park Royal area of west London have been formally submitted to the government.
The proposals for overseeing the redevelopment of the 950 hectare site surrounding the huge HS2 and Crossrail interchange earmarked for Old Oak Common won support from London Assembly members last month.
Now Mayor of London Boris Johnson has asked communities secretary Eric Pickles to lay an order for the mayoral development corporation’s establishment before Parliament, with the expectation that it will come into effect on April 1.
The corporation would take over planning responsibilities from the local authorities currently responsible for the area in a bid to better co-ordinate development.
Two rival development teams are vying to redevelop Old Oak Common.
Last month auto-retailer Car Giant, which owns 47 hectares of land in the development corporation zone, entered into a collaboration with developer London & Regional Properties to redevelop its holding.
The move plunged football Club Queens Park Rangers’ earlier plans for a new stadium on the site and a wider regeneration scheme into jeopardy.
Johnson said the corporation would look to emulate the success of the London Legacy Development Corporation in east London, which is redeveloping the London 2012 Olympic Park.
He said: “By 2030 the sprawling industrial land at Old Oak Common could be a thriving new district teeming with tens of thousands of new homes and jobs and a rail station the size of Waterloo.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform this site and there is no doubt that a Mayoral Development Corporation is the best way to unlock its enormous potential.’”
Once it is established, the development corporation will be chaired by the mayor of London or a designate.
It will have a board that include councillors from Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent, and Ealing councils, all of which currently have jurisdiction over parts of the site.

Is this good, bad or neither?
Surely it's still the same situation that various parties submit their proposals, but now it's the Mayoral Development Corporation who makes the decision? |  | | |

It's good. See this link which was posted a few weeks ago. Starts around the 39th minute mark. Very interesting and seems like with so much space available at the site we will eventually end up moving there:

Car Giant do not want a football stadium. Second hand car dealer claims football fans lower the tone.😊 |  |

Just in from Property Week:
Prologis sells Wembley shed to Cargiant
Used car dealership Cargiant has bought a Prologis shed in Wembley for £38m at a record 4.1% yield.
The H&M-let 140,000 sq ft unit is likely to be used by Car Giant to house tenants should they be displaced at Old Oak Common — where it is battling Queens Park Rangers Football Club over the redevelopment of the site.
The deal betters the 4.6% yield Legal & General paid for the forward funding of Waitrose facility at Magna Park, Milton Keynes.
DTRE advised Prologis, Cargiant was unrepresented. |  | | |

Not sure how a 4.1% yield beats a 4.6% one. I suppose the lower the yield the more they paid for it perhaps? |  | | |

It must be tenants of property they already own on OOC. If that existing property gets demolished they will rehouse their tenants at this new place. | | | |

Cargiant own more buildings on the site than just the ones they occupy. The tenants of those buildings would be offered relocation to this new site if CarGiant win the rights to the redevelopment. | | | |

Old Oak Common development body approved
28 January 2015 | By Felicity Francis
Save Eric Pickles has approved a new development corporation led by the mayor of London to oversee the regeneration of Old Oak Common.
Old Oak Common
Old Oak Common
The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation is expected to come into being on 1 April once approved by parliament. It will be granted full planning powers over the 950-hectare site that straddles the boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent and Ealing.
Plans for the site include the construction of up to 24,000 homes as well as a vast station for Crossrail 2 and HS2 by 2026.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: “The vast new station at Old Oak Common presents us with an almost unprecedented opportunity to transform an area the size of a small London borough into a thriving new part of the capital, with unrivalled transport links to central London, the rest of the country and beyond. London will shortly become home to more people than ever before and there is no doubt that this scheme will provide a real shot- in-the-arm as we look to provide the new homes and jobs that we desperately need.”
Deputy mayor for planning Sir Edward Lister also said that City Hall was supportive of a stadium at Old Oak Common, which is being opposed by auto-retailer Cargiant, which owns 47 acres of the land.
He told the Financial Times that he is trying to accommodate the plans of both Queen’s Park Rangers football club and Cargiant.
“We would like to see [a stadium] there but it’s a matter of trying to find a suitable place,” he said. | | | |
