  • SWAKELEYS HOUSE, ICKENHAM Development: APPLICATION
    Report of the Corporate Director of Planning and Community Services Address: SWAKELEYS HOUSE, ICKENHAM Development: APPLICATION TO ERECT 25,092 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICES TO PROVIDE FURTHER FUNDS TO RESTORE THE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS OF SWAKELEYS HOUSE LBH Ref Nos: 23202/F/81/1435 APP/R55/10/A/83/004491 Drawing Nos: N/A Date application 29 th May 1984 – at appeal approved at Committee S52 Agreement Dated 12 July 1984 CONSULTATIONS Conservation: This variation has been drawn up following discussions with officers, concerning amendments to the requirements for public access to Swakeleys House. The owner has provided evidence supporting his contention that the public access requirements have prevented successful marketing of the house in recent years, with the result that it has lain empty. Moreover, he has provided evidence that the public access days have not been well attended. For those having an academic architectural interest in the building, a dedicated web site with virtual tour would provide a resource for those studying local history, or the Jacobean period of architecture. This would illustrate those limited parts of the interior previously accessible to the public: the entrance hall, staircase and first floor chamber above. However, this, in itself, was not considered sufficient for those wanting to visit the house. Thus provision has been made for public access to the exterior of the house and surrounding grounds during the Open House Weekend. This would enable guided tours to take place with leaflets for North Planning Committee – 16 July 2009 PART I – MEMBERS, PUBLIC AND PRESS visitors. This is a weekend of some standing and the House is likely to generate much interest.

  • ST. GILES' HOSTS MAYOR's CIVIC SERVICE and RECEPTION The
    ST. GILES' HOSTS MAYOR'S CIVIC SERVICE AND RECEPTION The afternoon of Sunday 11th. March saw Hillingdon Mayor, Albert Kanjee and Mayoress, wife, Margaret, in attendance at St. Giles' church for a very special Civic Service led by Philip Robinson, Priest-in-Charge. Fully robed the procession was a magnificent sight with Patrick Mahoney (the Mayor's Officer) carrying the golden mace ahead of the Mayoral Party. Amongst the 160 guests and friends were Deputy Mayor Councillor Catherine Dann, Hillingdon's deputy Lord Lieutenant Col. Rex Cain OBE, Leader of Hillingdon Council Ray Puddifoot and Uxbridge M.P. John Randall. The military was represented by Capt. David Schneegas, Commander U.S. Naval Activities, Flt. Lt. D Mihailovic RAF 1381 West Drayton and Yiewsley and Lt. B O Yorke RNVR TS Pelican. Many of the guests were members of local organisations, such as St. John's Ambulance, and friends from the Salvation Army. A number of former Mayors' of Hillingdon were present alongside past, and present, members of Hillingdon Council. During the service Philip's sermon acknowledged the work of present, and past, Councillors (irrespective of political party) and highlighted their unstinting service to the community. Those whom our Councillors serve are often quick to criticise and suggest how they could do better, but insufficient recognition is given to those who seek, and achieve, public office. The first reading from scripture was given by Ray Puddifoot and the second by the Mayor. After the service everyone 'made a beeline' for the church hall in torrential rain. The convivial reception that followed was made possible through the efforts of member of St.
