Twickenham Riverside development

We are committed to finding the right design for Twickenham Riverside so that residents and visitors can enjoy this beautiful area.

Background

In 2019 we ran a design competition to find an architect led team to bring forward a design for the Twickenham Riverside site. The team led by Hopkins Architects, and their concept design, were chosen by the Design Panel as winners of the competition.

The concept design presented to the public was then developed by the team throughout 2020, addressing some challenging technical requirements. 

Current situation (March 2021)

From Wednesday 6 January 2021 until 3 February 2021 the Council ran a consultation seeking views on the developed design. Feedback from this consultation has been analysed.

Feedback reports:

• Engagement report (pdf, 1.1 MB)
• Engagement report - Children and young people (pdf, 968 KB)

The first report details key themes that emerged from the online questionnaire, the second details key messages heard from targeted engagement with children and young people.

Feedback is being carefully considered and will help inform the design development ahead of the submission of a planning application in the summer.
