Consultation Boards February 2020 | 15MB INTRODUCTION SYON LANE FUTURE In 2019 St Edward reached an agreement with Tesco to relocate its Osterley store onto the Homebase, Brentford site, and redevelop both sites in partnership with the London Borough of Hounslow and the local community. In October last year, we held an initial public consultation OSTERLEY PARK & NISHKAM SCHOOL event and have since engaged in discussions with the FUTURE BOLDER ACADEMY SKY HEADQUARTERS local community. We have heard what local people currently value and also what they feel the regeneration could bring to the area, socially, environmentally and TESCO OSTERLEY economically. This second exhibition shares our new proposals for the two sites and how they have progressed, reflecting the feedback and conversations we have had with the local community. St Edward and the project team will be in attendance at this exhibition and would be delighted to listen to GILLETTE your thoughts on the emerging proposals and discuss the Syon Lane masterplan. Growing a Green Community GILLETTE CORNER BRENTFORD GOLDEN MILE Understanding the Place Unlocking Wider Regeneration There is a unique opportunity at Syon Lane for a relocation of the Osterley Tesco from its existing 5ha site 1000m away to the north west. This is the only viable location for Tesco’s to move to and, if successful, it will free up the regeneration potential of 1800 homes within a new urban KEYvillage.

OUR VISION We want to create places that “To work with the local community to create a social place local residents can be part of, and providing green space, homes and jobs for local people, be proud of. While we may build whilst building on and embracing a proud local heritage” the buildings, we believe it is the community that creates the place. We believe the art of placemaking can be defined by four key ingredients: 1 We always put people first and start with a Vision for the community. 2 Then comes the place and we plan for the things that really 1. PEOPLE FIRST 2. COMMUNITY matter to the community and create a real sense of place now and for years to come. 3 Good architecture is clearly important, but more so is the space between the buildings, the landscaping and the public realm. 4 Finally we design the buildings around these. 3. GREEN SPACES AND PLACES 4.

  • NEWSLETTER National Trust Issue 107 Winter 2018 £1 (Free to Members) from the Chairman John James a Happy New Year to You All
    The Friends of Osterley Park In support of the NEWSLETTER National Trust Issue 107 Winter 2018 £1 (free to members) from the Chairman John James A Happy New Year to you all. We finished our programme for 2017 with a Christmas Lunch in the Brewhouse. It was a lovely occasion, with the café providing an excellent meal. The year also ended well for the House and Park, as they won the Running Awards 2018 for Best 10K Run in Greater London. The property have also concluded the staff and volunteer survey, with 170 completing it, an increase on last year. An innovation has been a trial allowing dogs into the gardens and to the stable café (a limited number at a time). The trial is running from 6th November 2017 to 23rd February 2018. The Halloween Pumpkin Festival was a great success. 2,000 pumpkins were sold, 11,000 individual marshmallows were packed and sold at the fire pits. It was also hugely successful for catering and retail. Another success was achieving the membership targets for the year. I mentioned in the Autumn newsletter the advert that Mike Doran was able to place on the website of Reach. It led to our finding a new Membership Secretary in Keith Rookledge. We welcome him to the Friends’ committee. Margaret Friday again arranged some very interesting London visits, to the Museum of Garden History and to the Jewel House, Westminster. Our coach trips continue to be well attended and the September visit was to the Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden and in October to Sudeley Castle.

  • The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall
    Urban Geology in London No. 37 The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall Osterley Park House was designed and built by Robert Adam (1728-1792) in the late 18th Century, between 1761 and the 1780s. It was commissioned by the Child Family and superseded a Tudor Mansion on the same site. Adam had ‘total design’ control of the construction and interior decoration of the house. This assumes that Adam also had a hand in overseeing if not selecting the building materials used. This brief report summarises the building and decorative stones used in the building, as observed following a visit to Osterley Park House in June 2017. Portico and Courtyard Portland Whitbed is used for the pediment, balustrade, quoins and other stone dressings on the exterior of Osterley Park House. It is also used for paving and for the columns supporting the pediment. This stone is identified by the pale grey colour with darker fossilised shells of oysters, which now weather slightly proud of the surface. Sedimentary bedding alignment can be detected in both columns and in some flagstones due to the concentration of shell beds. Portland Whitbed is the most commonly used of three main building stones extracted from the Portland Limestone Formation which occurs in outcrop and subcrop on the Isle of Portland, a peninsula on the Dorset Coast. Whitbed contains variable fossil content, predominantly in the form of oyster shells with well-preserved, laminated shells and also fragments of the reef-forming algae Solenpora portlandica. Two other units are also extracted as building stone; the Basebed and the Roach.

  • Kew Bridge Conservation Area Is Small but Distinct
    KEW BRIDGE Boundary: Map 27, note that this post-dates the UDP and UDP map Date of Designation: 1st June 2004 Date of Extension: Additional protection to the area: Listed grade l status of Pumping station; other listed buildings; partially in Thames Policy Area and Nature conservation area; partially in buffer zone of Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew: World Heritage Site. Special Architectural and/or Historic Interest The conservation area is based upon the topography and confluence of historic routes at the junction of the Thames crossing point: and their effect; also those of industrial uses of the area, and its workers, on the built environment, in particular the buildings now occupied by the Kew Bridge Steam Museum. The special architectural and historic interest of the area lies in the industrial character created by the pumping station and its associations, and the high quality of architectural style achieved for them: because of their importance and their location. The Bridge itself is important as an architectural landmark. The conservation area is partially residential in character and also displays a degree of commerce, business and industry that grew up in the area. The scale of these, including the fine station building, is small, and immediately adjacent buildings to the conservation area have a retro style. Two large commercial buildings of the middle twentieth century, nearby, which have been over clad and modified to become residential, are outside the conservation area. The pumping station is the dominating building within the area. It was designed by William Anderson, for the Grand Junction Waterworks Company, to extract river water from the Thames.
