The proposal reflects the existing scale, form and materiality of neighbouring buildings whilst adhering to the minimum required separation distances specified by the LBH.

Hatchett Road, Feltham London Borough of Hounslow 3.0 Design Process 3.1 Factors Influencing Design The immediate surrounding area contains a mix of dwellings ranging from, two storey terraced housing to three and four storey flats. The design to the houses in the area are identical with little to no variation from property to property. However, the flats although using the same materials, provide variations in the overall mass and access, the access being a mix of internal and external stairs cores. The variation in the mass comes in the change of roof designs, with a mix of flat and pitched properties. The materials and colour palate utilised on the immediate surrounding properties are constant with little change. The predominant material being buff brick, grey concrete roof tiles, white upvc windows and a mix of white and brown upvc cladding panels. At the end of Hatchett Road the property types change to semi-detached two storey houses. The materials along the semi- detached properties switch from brickwork and render with varying colours as shown in the images. Hatchett Road, Feltham London Borough of Hounslow 3.0 Design Process 3.2 Application Proposals Use/Amount Proposals will introduce a mix of flats and houses which is appropriate to this area. The proposed development is a sustainable approach to regenerating this lightly used and degraded open hard standing, bringing additional use to the area while addressing local antisocial behaviour and security issues. While creating badly needed housing stock for the local community. The site has been used to its full potential, being led by site constraints on what is currently an informal area of hardstanding used by a handful of cars.

  • Heritage Varieties Factsheet
    Jam Yesterday Jam Tomorrow is a community led project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund to uncover and restore the history of market gardening in Middlesex through research, oral histories and the building of a model market garden to showcase traditional methods of growing and lost varieties. To find out more visit: www.jamyesterdayjamtomorrow.com. Heritage Varieties Factsheet 1 Historical Context Throughout the 19th century, the economy of Middlesex was dominated by the need to feed London’s booming population. Parishes along the river, and those within easy walking distance of the hungry markets of London, became centres for commercial agriculture. Over time the rapid expansion of London’s urban area forced out market gardeners from central London into the southwest suburbs, and a number of Enclosure Acts allowed common grazing land to become market gardens. Farmers became horticulturalists, and farms became market gardens and orchards. The arrival of the railway to Twickenham, Teddington and Whitton in the middle of the-century allowed market gardeners to move away from the river, deeper into Middlesex. In many areas, employment in agriculture exceeded that in trade, manufacturing, and handicrafts. Gradually, however, as London continued to grow, house- building for the new ‘commuter classes’ began, and orchards began to give way to houses. The industry peaked in the 1870s, and then moved to the Hampton area, where large glasshouses allowed growers to Keens Strawberry was produce fruit and vegetables more efficiently. Several of the Hampton a popular local variety nurseries continued to thrive through the Second World War and after, from which the until their land was finally built upon to become Nurserylands housing modern strawberry derives.

    Local Plan As adopted by Council 3 July 2018 Publication Local Plan incorporating Inspector’s Final ‘Main Modifications’ as published May 2018 and ‘List of Council’s Additional Modifications to Local Plan Publication version’ as published December 2017; subject to additional minor modifications to the Plan to cover any necessary updates on adoption. July 2018 1 Foreword by the Cabinet Member for Environment, Planning and Sustainability – to be added 1 Introduction 1.1 Setting the Scene 1.1.1 The Council's Local Plan will set out policies and guidance for the development of the borough over the next 15 years. It looks ahead to 2033 and identifies where the main developments will take place, and how places within the borough will change, or be protected from change, over that period. 1.1.2 The Council's Local Plan forms part of the development plan for the borough. It has to go through an Examination in Public by an independent Government inspector before it can be adopted by the Council. The London Plan, prepared by the Mayor of London, also forms part of the development plan, and the Council's Local Plan has to be in general conformity with it. 1.1.3 The role of the development plan is to guide decision making on planning applications and inform investment in social and physical infrastructure. When planning applications are received, they are assessed against the development plan to see whether planning permission should be granted or not. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires that “in making any determination under the planning acts, regard is to be had to the development plan; the determination shall be made in accordance with the plan unless material consideration indicates otherwise”.
