Tesco has submitted plans for a 270-home development including a 21-storey tower beside Hounslow bus garage.
The retail chain made a formal planning application to Hounslow Council last Tuesday (September 16), six months after it first revealed the proposals.
Spen Hill Developments, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the grocery giants, said architects had taken public comments into account when producing the final design.
A spokesman told getwestlondon the section backing onto Aces Court, in North Drive, had been moved back to address residents' concerns about their homes being overlooked and deprived of sunlight. He also said the height of the facade in London Road had been reduced.
However, the Ventana tower at the heart of the proposed development, which also includes a handful of shops, remains the same size as originally proposed.
The number of parking spaces is also unchanged, at 141, and the number of homes, ranging from one-bed apartments to four-bed townhouses, has increased fractionally.
The planning application claims the glass tower will 'punctuate the skyline' and 'define the eastern gateway to the town'. It also states that the scheme would provide extra green space.
When the plans were first announced, some people raised concerns about whether the high-rise block would pose a danger to planes landing at Heathrow, but the developer said it had been assured it was well within the safety restrictions.
Separate proposals for a 27-storey tower slightly west of the old Hounslow House site, at the High Street Quarter plot beside Asda, have since gone out to public consultation.
Mark Witham of Spen Hill said: "Following a successful public consultation we are pleased to submit our revised plans to Hounslow Council. At the exhibition we saw over 150 people come through the doors. Residents were interested to see what we had on offer for them and the majority were pleased that housing was a prominent part of the proposals.
"Constructive comments were received in relation to height and overlooking of the parts of the scheme that sit adjacent to Aces Court and on North Drive in particular. The team have taken these comments away and worked hard on the issues. I am pleased that we have now been able to revise the design in this respect and submit an improved proposal.
"Some concerns were raised given the proximity of the proposed tower to Heathrow but we are reassured that the design is well below aviation restrictions and obviously Heathrow Airport will be a Statutory Consultee in the forthcoming planning application process."
The application will now go before members of Hounslow Council's planning committee on a date yet to be confirmed.
