  • Hello! March Is Coming in Like a Lion, and We at Chiswick Pier Trust Have a Roaring Programme for You This Month. First Off, If
    Hello! March is coming in like a lion, and we at Chiswick Pier Trust have a roaring programme for you this month. First off, if you want to go on the Mothering Sunday Brunch Cruise on the 22nd March please do book your tickets as they are selling fast. And for those that are concerned - should it be necessary to cancel events due to reasons beyond our control we will offer a full refund, so please continue early booking so we can plan catering numbers. Secondly, the Boat Race is taking place on 29th March. REMEMBER clocks go forward on that morning, so we’ll have an extra hour of very welcome light, and the boat races will be ‘later’ in the day. Also, Hammersmith Bridge will be closed to pedestrians for the race so Chiswick Pier is a fantastic alternative viewing point. Finally, for our last Talk by the Thames until the autumn, we have best-selling author of the Rivers of London series, Ben Aaronovitch, joining us for an interview on the 31st March. His latest book, False Values, was published last month and already is No 6 on the Sunday Times bestseller list, and Waterstones will be on hand selling copies of this, and his other books. Bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch will be speaking about False Value, his hugely anticipated new book in the River of London series. Ben Aaronovitch will be coming to Chiswick Pier Trust on Tuesday 31st March to talk about his hotly anticipated new book in the Rivers of London series – False Value - which is already Number 6 on the Sunday Times bestseller list.

  • Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill - Approved! Overview
    Projects & Proposals > Queens > Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill - Approved! Overview Background Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens are two of the older communities in the Borough of Queens. The area is known for its quiet tree-lined streets, its mix of large homes and 1930s apartment buildings, its proximity to Forest Park and Maple Grove Cemetery, and its excellent transit connections to Manhattan . The Department of City Planning proposes to rezone all or portions of 140 blocks in the neighborhoods of Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill, Community District 9, Queens, in an effort to address the communities’ concerns that recent development trends are out of context with the existing character, while also providing for much needed housing opportunities along appropriate growth corridors. The proposal encourages new mixed-use development along Jamaica Avenue, promotes housing production on wide streets near the express subway station, and protects interior residential blocks by adjusting zoning district boundaries and designating new zoning districts that match the existing character. Low-density development on 82nd Lefferts Boulevard near the Kew Mixed-use building on Road in Kew Gardens Gardens LIRR stop Jamaica Avenue View more photos... Study Area The study area is bounded by the Union Turnpike, Queens Boulevard, the Van Wyck Expressway, Jamaica Avenue, 100th Street, and Park Lane South. Project Goals and Objectives The Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill communities are concerned that the current zoning of the study area encourages development that is not in character with the existing neighborhoods. The Department of City Planning has studied the Kew Gardens - Richmond Hill area in order to develop a comprehensive and fine-grained rezoning plan that addresses this concern and to identify opportunities to revise zoning designations to reflect the current built environment of the area.

  • Kew Green Conservation Area 2
    Kew Green Conservation Area 2 Designation Conservation Area designated: 14.01.1969 Conservation Area extended: 07.09.1982 14.06.1988 Location OS Sheets: 1877, 1977 Kew Green conservation area is situated on the A205 to the north-east of Kew Gardens, adjacent to the River Thames. It adjoins the Kew Gardens (15), Kew Road (55) and Royal Botanic Gardens (63) conservation areas to the South. History and Development Kew flourished when Frederick, Prince of Wales established his country residence, the White House, there in I728.This was followed by the development of the Royal Botanic Gardens. Kew Bridge was completed in 1758 and the advent of the railway in 1860 led to the development of the Priory estate as commuter housing. Character The area was designated due to its character as an historic open space, the associated high quality of mostly C18th development and its superior riverside environment. The area was extended southwards down Kew Road to help protect the approach to the Green itself and to include mostly Victorian terraces with mature street trees that in themselves have strong character. Also included was the east side of the railway bridge. There was a further addition of an area of substantial terraced and semi-detached 2 storey Edwardian and Victorian properties which are largely unaltered. The area is made attractive by its abundance of mature street trees, and it forms a visually cohesive area with an easily identifiable sense of place it has a definite village character. The Green constitutes a fine example of an historic Green, with the entrance to Kew Gardens to the west, and is surrounded by large 18th and 19th century houses, many of which are listed and which through the quality of their architecture add formal grace to the central area.
