Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) is leading the redevelopment of the Old Oak and Park Royal districts, which is one of Europe's largest regeneration opportunities.
Old Oak Common Station is the only place where HS2 and the Elizabeth Line will meet – and the OPDC is capitalising on transport investment to drive the creation of new homes and jobs. In a regeneration programme that will stretch over 25 years, 9,000 new homes and 1,000 new jobs are planned. Growth at Old Oak and Park Royal will significantly add to London’s economy and contribute to the UK’s competitiveness.
Much of the Old Oak area is made up of brownfield sites, and Park Royal is London’s largest Strategic Industrial Location.
The Place Review Group has been advising OPDC since 2015 as the policy framework and implementation plans for Old Oak and Park Royal are taken forward.
The OPDC Place Review Group is chaired by Peter Bishop, Professor of Urban Design at University College London.
