  • Former Syon Gate Service Station, Land South of Gillette Corner, Great
    PLANNING COMMITTEE 2 May 2019 Melek Ergen [email protected] References: P/2018/4691 00505/AF/P28 Address: Former Syon Gate Service Station, Land at South of Gillette Corner, Great West Road, Isleworth TW7 5NP Proposal: Erection of up to six storey building to provide Class B1 (office) and Class B8 (self-storage) uses, with associated car parking and landscaping This application is being taken to Planning Committee as a Major Scheme with a Legal Agreement 1.0 SUMMARY 1.1 The applicant seeks planning approval for a part three-, part four-, part five- storey building with lower ground floor to provide self-storage (Use Class B8) and offices (Use Class B1). 1.2 The application site was formerly the Syon Gate Service Station and the principle of office development as well as storage use on this site was previously accepted/established (see ‘History’ and the site has been allocated for mixed use development in the Local Plan. Therefore the Council would like to see the delivery of this site in line with its allocation. 1.3 The proposed building would not compete with nearby heritage buildings and would still carry Art Deco features interpreted in a modern way. The building, particularly for a storage building would have some visual and historic merit and would create sense of place as well as some interest to the site. 1.4 The building would be a suitable addition to this vacant, prominent corner site. It would be set back from the pavement to allow landscaping along the boundaries, which would be an improvement to the townscape.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

It includes 682 buildings and sites known to be at risk from Tneglect, decay or inappropriate development - everything from an early 18th century church designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, to a boathouse built during WWI on an island in the Thames. These are sites that need imagination and investment. In London the scale of this challenge has grown. There are 12 more assets on the Heritage at Risk Register this year compared to 2015. We also know that it’s becoming more expensive to repair many of our buildings at risk. In the face of these challenges we’re grateful for the help and support of all those who continue to champion our historic environment.

  • TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (Optional Extension to Ealing Broadway)
    TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (optional extension to Ealing Broadway). Distance: 8.4 km (5.4 miles). Public Transport: Section 4 starts at Acton Town Underground Station (District and Piccadilly lines), finishing at Boston Manor Underground Station (Piccadilly Line). There is an optional exit en route at Brentford Station or an optional 3.7 km (2.3 miles) extension from Boston Manor to Ealing Broadway Station (using part of the TREC Section 1 route). Surface and Terrain: The first half of the route is along level paths, including through parks: Gunnersbury and Carville Hall Park South; however the section along the Thames Path and the River Brent/Grand Union Canal Walk does involve some steps (an alternative route avoiding the steps is suggested); the route eventually reaches Boston Manor Park and Station. Refreshments: Acton Town Station; Gunnersbury Park Café; Brentford High Street (near Brentford Lock); Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal), Boston Manor Station and shops nearby. Covid-19 restrictions: Check availability of refreshments and toilets before your walk. Public Toilets: Acton Town Station (charge); Gunnersbury Park; Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal). The route starts from south-west Acton, one of the seven towns of the London Borough of Ealing, Acton means "oak farm" or "farm by oak trees". This final section of TREC does stray into the north east of the London Borough of Hounslow going through parts of old Brentford, however as this was historically part of the Parish of Ealing when it did extend to the River Thames we think it’s appropriate to include in TREC.

  • 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.

To the north are the West London offices of some of the world’s most successful established brands, as well as a thriving new generation of emerging enterprises. To the south and west are wide open, wild spaces rich in natural life.
