Work on more than 200 homes at the site of a former car showroom in Isleworth is about to get under way.

Demolition has already begun at the London Square Isleworth site in London Road, near Isleworth station, and construction is due to start in April.

The development will include 203 apartments, 162 of which will be for private sale and the remainder for 'affordable' rent or shared ownership.

There will also be five commercial units on site, which could be used as shops, offices or restaurants.

Work on the homes, ranging in size from one to three-bedroom properties, is expected to be completed between winter 2017 and summer 2018.

The private apartments, being sold by the developer London Square and starting at £320,000, are due to go on sale from February 13.

The 17 shared ownership homes and 24 properties for affordable rent are being provided One Housing Group.

The new homes, ranging in height from two to six storeys, were approved by councillors on Hounslow Council 's planning committee in July 2015.
