Old Chiswick Protection Society
Old Chiswick Protection Society Autumn 2020 Newsletter Old Chiswick Protection Society exists to preserve and enhance the amenities of this riverside conservation area. Even the geese are social distancing! [Photograph: David Humphreys] Chairman’s Message As we look back at the last months, the Old Chiswick Conservation Area has become even more precious to many of us who live here, work here or visit. We have seen and spoken with visitors, previously unfamiliar with our environment and its atmosphere and history, who are enjoying it for the first time. Nature carries on here regardless, and our history continues to be relevant and vital to our future. We can't take anything for granted though. It is only with the support of our members' subscriptions and diligent work that we are here today and can be so proud of what has been achieved by the charity over the last 60 years. Old Chiswick could so easily have looked and felt very different: no Chiswick Eyot, with its unique withy beds and nature reserve; houses where Homefields Recreation Ground South is; an entirely different main road into and out of London, sacrificing more historical buildings; post-war housing instead of Georgian houses along Chiswick Mall. Our community has done much to help others this year, and we continue to build relationships with those like Asahi who are new to the area since taking over Fuller’s Brewery, and who have expressed a wish to become part of the community. We look forward to inviting you to join our AGM this year, which will of course be conducted on line, with the very latest advice on meetings. -

Dukes Meadows, Dan Mason Drive, Chiswick in the London Borough of Hounslow Planning Application No
planning report D&P/2436f/01 5 February 2018 Dukes Meadows, Dan Mason Drive, Chiswick in the London Borough of Hounslow planning application no. P/2017/4957 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008. The proposal Partial redevelopment of the Dukes Meadows playing fields for enhanced sports and recreational facilities and public realm River frontage improvements. The applicant The applicant is London Borough of Hounslow and the architect is Space and Place. Strategic issues summary Metropolitan Open land: The entire site lies within MOL. The proposal is not inappropriate development on MOL as comprises the provision of appropriate facilities for outdoor sport and recreation. Further, the majority of development takes place within previously developed land and preserves the openness of the MOL, thus meeting the NPPF exception test. The proposal therefore accords with London Plan Policy 7.17, draft London Plan Policy G3, and the NPPF, and GLA officers conclude that there will be no harm caused to the MOL. The proposed rugby groundsman’s dwelling is not considered to be inappropriate development provided it is used exclusively for that purpose. (paragraphs 18 to 29). Sports facilities and community use: A detailed community use agreement for affordable and accessible usage of the sports facilities should be secured by the Council (paragraphs 30 to 32). Urban design, climate change and transport concerns must also be addressed. Recommendation That Hounslow Council be advised that whilst the principle of development is acceptable, the application does not comply with the London Plan and draft London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 46 of this report; but that the possible remedies set out in that paragraph could address these deficiencies. -
Traffic Noise Maps of Public Parks in Hounslow May 2018
Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hounslow May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hounslow 1 1. Beaversfield Park 2. Bedfont Lake Country Park 3.

Arts & Crafts Stained Glass
Event Review: Summer lecture Friday 19 June : ‘Exploring Arts & Crafts Stained Glass: a 40-year adventure in light and colour – an illustrated lecture’ by Peter Cormack he lecture was an introduction to some of the main themes Tof the speaker’s newly-published book, Arts & Crafts Stained Glass (Yale University Press for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art). He began by saying that his discovery of this rich field of research had begun when he was a student at Cambridge in the 1970s, and had developed particularly during his thirty years working as a curator at the William Morris Gallery in London. He paid tribute to the work of other scholars in the field, especially Martin Harrison’s V ictorian Stained Glass , Birkin Haward’s two books on 19th-century glass in Norfolk and Suffolk and Nicola Gordon Bowe’s studies of Irish stained glass. He also emphasized the critical importance of ‘field-work’ – actually going to the places where windows are located to see them in their architectural context. He felt that the internet, with its wealth of images, could sometimes deter people from studying stained glass properly. This was why the BSMGP’s conferences, with their focussed study-visits to churches and other sites, were such a valuable exercise. He then took us through the main narrative of his book, beginning with the pioneers who, from the late 1870s onwards, had championed stained glass as a modern and expressive art form, instead of the formulaic and imitative productions of firms like C. E. Kempe. Henry Holiday was one of the most effective campaigners against commercialism and historicism: his windows Christopher Whall: detail of window in Gloucester Cathedral Lady Chapel, 1901 feature superb figure-drawing combined with a real knowledge of his craft. -
