It provides for significant growth in new housing and jobs to meet our residents’ needs, while requiring high quality sustainable development that protects the unique characteristics and historic assets of the borough that our local communities value. It will guide investment in new buildings and important infrastructure and prioritise transformation and regeneration, while LONDON ROAD protecting and enhancing valuable metropolitan open land, green belt and open space. The Local Plan has been prepared by drawing on the knowledge and aspirations of local residents, communities, businesses, and partner organisations. In the summer of 2013 we consulted you on the issues to be considered in preparing the Local Plan, and then went on to consult you on draft site allocations and several drafts of the Plan. Each draft was modified in response to the consultation comments received. The Local Plan was examined in public by a Government-appointed Planning Inspector BRENTFORD in the spring of 2015. With a few modifications the Plan was found ‘sound’ by the Inspector and was adopted by the Council on the 15th September 2015. The Plan will be used to guide development, investment and improvements in the borough, and to assess future planning applications, as well as provide a common tool for all service providers, community groups, developers, residents and businesses, to shape the borough into an even better place to live and work. -

It continues 11km westwards, through Chiswick, Brentford, Osterley and Heston until the Bath Road (Henlys) roundabout. The Great South West Road continues the route past Hatton Cross and south of Heathrow Airport. East of Hammersmith, the A4 passes through up-market Kensington, Knightsbridge and Mayfair before reaching Piccadilly Circus. The width of the highway ranges from between 30m to 70m. The height of buildings that line the road range from between 2 to 25 storeys, with 2 to 3 storeys being the most common. street Many of the taller buildings do not enhance their immediate environment and compromise the quality of their widersurroundings.

OBJECTION to the PLANNING APPLICATION to REDEVELOP the TESCO SITE - SYON LANE, TW7 5NZ Submitted by the Osterley & Wyke Green Residents’ Association, November 2020
OBJECTION TO THE PLANNING APPLICATION TO REDEVELOP THE TESCO SITE - SYON LANE, TW7 5NZ submitted by the Osterley & Wyke Green Residents’ Association, November 2020 Ref: 01106/B/P137, P/2020/3100 Outline planning application with all matters reserved except access for the demolition of existing building and car park and erection of buildings to provide up to 1,677 residential homes, plus up to 5,000sqm flexible non-residential space comprising commercial, business and service space, and/or learning and non-residential institution space, and/or local community space, and/or public house/drinking establishment, and/or a mobility hub, along with associated access, bus turning, car and cycle parking and landscaping arrangements. INTRODUCTION OWGRA’s Objections The Osterley and Wyke Green Residents’ Association (OWGRA) understands the need for housing developments to meet known demand. We do not object to the redevelopment of the Tesco site for mainly housing, as the site is in the Great West Corridor Opportunity Area identified by the London Plan. However, we have examined this application carefully and have identified many areas in which the application falls short of planning guidelines and various planning targets. We believe that many of them taken alone form a sufficient basis for rejection of the application. Taken together we believe that they make an overwhelming case for rejection. Development Planning Context The Local Plan was confirmed in 2015 and is currently undergoing review in 2020. the Great West Corridor (GWC) Local Plan Site Allocation document of 2019 sought to create at the Tesco site a mixed-use development with housing and an enhanced public realm which integrates with its surroundings with tall buildings (defined as over 20m) even though 5 to 8 storeys was recommended for the site in the GWC Masterplan. -

Site Allocations - Introduction Introduction Policy Background The London Borough of Hounslow has prepared two new Local Plan reviews in order to The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)2 provides the overarching national planning positively plan for and manage future development in the borough. The reviews set out a guidance on Local Plan making and identification of sites for allocation. The NPPF requires spatial strategy for two areas: the West of Borough (WOB) and Great West Corridor (GWC) that a Local Plan must contain strategic policies for Housing (Paragraph 20) which look in order to meet the needs of existing and future residents with a range of housing choices, ahead over the minimum 15 year period, and should allocate sufficient sites to deliver the businesses with employment space to grow, and access to healthy lives and social strategic priorities of the area, (except insofar as these needs can be demonstrated to be infrastructure, such as schools and open space. met more appropriately through other mechanisms, such as brownfield registers or nonstrategic policies). Elsewhere, it states that: The Reviews allocate sites in order to accommodate Objectively Assessed Needs over the plan period, which are contained in this Volume, and has also been updated to reflect “Strategic policy-making authorities should have a clear understanding of the land available in their progress on delivering site allocations in the Adopted Hounslow Local Plan (2015) and the area through the preparation of a strategic housing land availability
