London Borough of Hounslow Local Plan Draft LOCAL PLAN POLICY OPTIONS JUNE 2013 DRAFT CRANFORD & OSTERLEY & CHISWICK HESTON SPRING GROVE BRENTFORD HOUNSLOW ISLEWORTH BEDFONT RIVER THAMES HANWORTH FELTHAM Hounslow | Local Plan Hounslow | Local 2 OAD R anworth FOREWORD H Hounslow is a borough of opportunities which is changing fast. To make sure these changes are in the best interests of our residents we need to make sure that the local plan- ning system can respond positively to change; promotes LONDON ROAD high quality development and regeneration; protects what CHISWICK local communities value the most, and makes sure we have the services and infrastructure in place to make our communities sustainable in the long term. The Local Plan is the most important planning policy docu- ment as it sets out our vision for the development of the borough over the next 15 years, and we want to hear what you think. It includes options for how we guide future development, and how we make sure that we have the homes, jobs, schools, shops, services and leisure facilities Bath ROAD we need to make life enjoyable. It also includes conserva- tion of our natural and built environments, and the local distinctiveness that makes the districts of Hounslow so unique. We want residents, businesses and local service providers to be central to how the Local Plan is shaped. It is impor- tant that we all benefit from future investment in Houn- slow and the prosperity this will bring. This latest consulta- tion has been shaped by your input into our previous Core Plan Hounslow | Local Strategy consultations (now replaced by the Local Plan) and we encourage you to continue to take part and make your views known.

    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.

  • Graves of Artists and Architects Buried There
    Graves of architects and artists in the Chiswick Churchyard and Old Burial Ground A noteworthy feature of the burial ground associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick, is the remarkable number of graves of artists and architects buried there. This article records the graves of an important eighteenth-century architect and garden designer, a respected bricklayer and site manager, two well-regarded Victorian sculptors, and no fewer than six painters and printmakers. In comparison, I know of only one literary figure who was buried there: the maverick Italian poet and patriot, Ugo Foscolo (1778–1827). But perhaps he does not count, since his bones were exhumed in 1871 and returned to Italy for re-burial in Sta Croce, Florence. The churchyard harbours the tomb of only one theatrical figure, Charles Holland (1733–1769), but – as far as I am aware – of not one single composer. Two possible reasons for this bias in favour of the visual arts may be connected with two leading figures in the British eighteenth-century art world who were associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick. Lord Burlington (1694–1753) and William Hogarth (1697–1764) were close contemporaries, although they seldom if ever saw eye to eye. Lord Burlington was the architect of his ground- breaking Chiswick Villa, and he was also a celebrated aesthete and connoisseur. During highly profitable visits to Italy in the second decade, he amassed an important collection of Italian Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Chiswick Villa was designed in part specifically to display this collection, which enhanced Burlington’s status in the British art scene. His semi-permanent residence at Chiswick in the last 20 or so years of his life, and the inheritance of his estate by the Dukes of Devonshire from 1764, perhaps attracted other artists to the area, seeking aristocratic and royal patronage.
