A friend of mine (who was a barge man and businessman) thought of buying it back then - 30 odd years ago - but thought better of it because quite a lot of it was (and I guess still is) a nature reserve. I'd say the prospects of building anything on it are pretty well zero - I remember us visiting several years ago about a plan to improve one of the semi-derelict sheds which I think were approved. The most informative planning application I can find is this one https://planninginfo.hounslow.gov.uk/PublicAccess_Live/Document/ViewDocument?id=466AA051014C11E69D8CD05349971B44 The most informative paragraph is this: Several trees with TPOs are located around the edges of the Ait. The Ait is designated as a Nature Conservation Area within the adopted UDP, is within the Brentford Town Centre boundary and is designated within the Thames Policy Area. The site falls within Development Site Policy RR1 of the BAAP (Ferry Wharf, Point Wharf, Goat Wharf and Soap House Creek) and is designated for water-related activities. The site is within Flood Zone 3b, functional floodplain, of the Council’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment.
