The new Morrisons part of Ballymore's 'The Brentford Project' will have basement parking for up to 130 cars.

Morrisons senior asset manager, Georgina French said; "We've always been committed to Brentford so we're delighted to have secured the store's future as part of Ballymore's development.

"This new scheme means that we will retain a presence on Brentford High Street and offer our customers a new look store with improved layout and additional popular and useful services."

On their website, Ballymore development have said that 'The Brentford Project' is "a new riverside town centre in the heart of west London" and that the plan will include "residential, retail, employment, community and leisure uses."

The Ballymore development plan also includes the restoration of St Lawrence Church which was closed in 1961.

Ballymore said: "The Brentford Project will also bring a host of community spaces, in particular with the transformation of the Grade II* listed St Lawrence's Church – a forgotten masterpiece originally designed by renowned Brentford architect, Thomas Hardwick.

"A hidden gem which dates back to the 15th Century, the church, with its dramatic vaulted ceiling, wooden arcading and striking rows of arches, is set to become a new focal point for Brentford as a cultural and foodie hub – designed to host a series of pop-ups, events and shows."
