Isleworth and Brentford Area Committee 25 July 2003 Agenda Item No. Reference No. Better Local Government ISLEWORTH AND BRENTFORD AREA COMMITTEE 25 JULY 2003 DRAFT SUPLEMENTARY PLANNING GUIDANCE ON SUSTAINABLE MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENT Report by: Borough Planning Officer Summary 1. This Report informs Members of the proposed Draft Supplementary Planning Guidance on Sustainable Mobile Telecommunication Development. The Report also outlines its key issues. RECOMMENDATION: That Members: 1. Consider the proposed Draft Supplementary Planning Guidance and use in the determination of relevant planning applications. 2. Recommend to the Sustainable Development Committee that the Draft Supplementary Planning Guidance should be published for consultation purposes. [email protected] 2.0 Background 2.1 Supplementary Planning Guidance on Sustainable Mobile Telecommunication Development was requested by the Sustainable Development Committee to provide detailed advice on the implementation of Policy ENV-B.1.7 (Telecommunications) of the Revised Deposit Proposed Modifications UDP (January 2003). 2.2 This request followed the publication of Planning Policy Guidance Note 8 (PPG8) – the key government guidance on telecommunication development planning. 2.3 Government Guidance (PPG12 Development Plans) allows local planning authorities to prepare supplementary planning guidance to provide detailed guidance as to how Unitary Development Plan Policies will be applied in particular circumstances. 2.4 Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) is non-statutory guidance but it may be taken into account as a material consideration when considering development applications. The weight accorded to it is increased if it has been prepared in consultation with the public and has been the subject of a Council resolution. 2.5 In November 2002 the Government published a Code of Best Practice on Mobile Phone Network Development. Key elements of the Best Practice Code, PPG8 and other legislation have been incorporated into the Draft Supplementary Planning Guidance. 2.6 The growth in demand for mobile phones in recent years and the granting of third generation network licences to four operators by the Government has resulted in a proliferation of telecommunication installations in the Borough. Hounslow’s topography, position in West London adjacent to a number of major transport routes and competing developmental pressures has further stimulated mobile telecommunication development locally. 2.7 The proposed Draft SPG will assist officers and Members when assessing and determining telecommunication applications for planning consent and prior approvals. 3.0 Key Elements of the Draft Supplementary Planning Guidance 3.1 The Policy Background highlights planning guidance and policies for the SPG in terms of the National, Metropolitan and UDP context. Details of the growth of the different networks is provided including TETRA networks. 3.2 The second key area of the SPG explains the separate and very distinct Prior Approval and Planning Permission Processes. It explains how the processes operate and details the supporting [email protected] information requirements for applicants and issues relating to multiple networks on one site. 3.3 The Location and Siting section details the key issues for Hounslow in terms of Telecommunication Development in the Green Belt, Metropolitan Open Land, Nature Conservation Areas, Historic Parks, Tall and Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Heathrow Airport. A separate section considers the issue of mast/site sharing. 3.4 The Design and Appearance section is based on the Best Practice Guide. Advice is given on the camoflaging of antennas on buildings, the importance of appropriate fencing and landscaping and Highway considerations. 3.5 The Health Considerations section expands the Government’s approach to mobile telecommunications development. It highlights the Government’s view of the findings of the Stewart Report, that as long as a proposed development conforms to the International Compliance for Exposure Guidelines for Public Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields established by the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), further consideration of the risk to health will not be necessary by the local planning authority. Furthermore the Government consider that the planning system is not the place to determine health safeguards. However LBH will expect all telecommunications applications to comply with ICNIRP guidelines. 3.6 The Appendix includes a Summary of Telecommunications Permitted Development Rights, operator information, contact details and a Glossary of technical terms. 4.0 Consultations 4.1 The professional and expert advice of the Council’s environmental protection, pollution and legal officers have been incorporated into this report. 5.0 Finance 5.1 The Head of Finance comments that there are no additional costs involved in the production of the draft SPG. All costs such as staffing have been met from existing budgets. Similarly, any costs of a public consultation will be contained within existing budgets. 6.0 Equal Opportunities Implications 6.1 As virtually all of Hounslow’s residents are users of the various telecommunication sysytems, there are no specific equal opportunities considerations arising from this report.

This guidance elaborates Hounslow’s Unitary Development Policy (UDP) Policy ENV-B.1.7 (Telecommunications) and provides detailed advice on the suitable siting and appearance of telecommunication masts and related equipment. 1.2 Telecommunications is defined as ‘all forms of communications by electrical or optical wire and cable and radio signals (whether terrestrial or from satellite), both public and private’ (PPG 8). 1.3 Domestic satellite dishes will not be dealt with in this SPG. Government guidance is provided in the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) publication ‘A Householder’s Planning Guide for the Installation of Satellite Television Dishes’ (Copies available from the Borough Planning Office at the Civic Centre). This guidance is itself currently under review by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). 1.4 Growth in consumer demand for mobile telecommunications and operational requirements to improve the quality and range of services has raised a number of public concerns in a Borough which is crossed by major transport routes, has significant areas of Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land, an historic built environment and extensive residential areas. 1.5 The Government considers that modern telecommunications systems have a vital part to play in national life, bringing significant economic and societal benefits. In recent years the rapid expansion of the sector has made telecommunications a major component of the national [email protected] 2 economy. However there have been concerns as to the siting and appearance of telecommunication installations. By appreciating the essential infrastructure requirements of the network providers and the potential impact on the environment, Hounslow Council seeks to ensure by working with network providers and interested parties that telecommunication developments are sensitively delivered within the Borough. 1.6 This draft Supplementary Planning Guidance aims to elaborate: • Hounslow’s telecommunications policy • Provide guidance for telecommunications operators • Specify Hounslow’s requirements for telecommunication installations. 1.7 Planning Policy Guidance Note 12 (Development Plans) states that: • SPG may be taken into account as a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. The Secretary of State will give substantial weight to an SPG which has evolved from the development plan, and has been prepared in the proper manner. • A public consultation should form part of the SPG preparation and include interested parties. These views should be taken into account before the SPG is finalised. 1.8 All references to the UDP are to the London Borough of Hounslow’s Proposed Modifications to the Revised Alterations Unitary Development

  • 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.

Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/historicalcollecOOphil : ' HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS RELATING TO CHISWICK EDITED BY W. P. W. PHILLIMORE AND W. H. WHITEAR. LONDON Phillimore & Co Essex Street, Strand. , 36, 1897. NOTE. THIS volume is an attempt to collect together in a handy form some historical information relating to the parish of Chiswick. It originated in some weekly contributions sent by the Editors to a local newspaper, the " Chiswick Times," during the years 1895 an^ 1896. This serves to explain the fact that the book is more a collection of essays than a systematic parochial history, though all the same it may be hoped that it will hereafter prove a useful groundwork to some one able and willing to compile a history worthy of the parish. Incomplete as the present work is, it will serve to direct attention to the many points of interest in the past history of Chiswick. Much still remains to be done, for as yet the public records have been but little drawn upon, and the reader must not think that we have at all exhausted the field of research which lies open to us. Some of the chapters are merely reprints from other works ; some are by one or other of the Editors ; for the chapter on Sutton Court the reader is indebted to Mr. W. M. Chute, and for the account of the prebendal manor to Mr.

  • Newsletter Winter 2009
    Old Chiswick Protection Society Christmas 2009 Newsletter The Society depends on the goodwill of its members and we are always encouraged by your feedback on possible conservation area projects. We hope you agree that using our funds to support the restoration of Hogarth’s tomb and to provide some funding, with others, for the tree planting alongside the Thames, makes good sense. We are a small Society and need more members as well as their support. Please mention the Society to friends and neighbours, and encourage them to join so that we will have more resources to apply. The Society is a member of the West London River Group, which helps to implement the Thames Strategy from Chelsea to Kew by examining all riverside development proposals and coordinating with other interest groups along the river. The Thames Strategy is part of the London Plan supported by the Mayor. Our relationship with the Port of London Authority and others such as Thames 21 is integral to helping maintain the riverside and river aspects for future generations. Outside of the conservation area, I think most of us have been impressed by the work undertaken by Friends of Dukes Meadows, who are building the new play area. This is due to be finished by spring 2010. A wildflower meadow on the plateau is also being planted. For many years, the Society had enjoyed the support of Fuller’s. Fuller’s is proud to play an active role in the community around the Brewery in Chiswick and supports a number of local charities including Friends of Chiswick House, Old Chiswick Protection Society and Chiswick Pier.

  • Report: Conservation Area Character Appraisals 1.0 CONTENTS And
    Maggie Urquhart : Tel 020 8583 4941 e-mail: [email protected] Chiswick Area Committee (Planning) 12 January 2006 Report: Conservation Area Character Appraisals 1.0 CONTENTS and PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 This report sets out the policy background to conservation area character appraisals. It identifies the existing and future need for appraisals and the way in which they will fit into the new planning system. The report also highlights the current and future procedures required for conservation area management, and the relationship of appraisals within them. 1.2 The document attached comprises three parts. The Introduction is standard and describes the background to conservation area designation in general terms, and for L B Hounslow as a whole. 1.3 The second part is a group of documents comprising an individual character appraisal for each of the ten conservation areas that lie all or partly within Chiswick Area Planning Committee’s area. 1.4 The individual character appraisal for each conservation area is provided in accordance with the intention identified in UDP policy Env-B.2, 4.15. Their content and format are described in more detail in section 6 of this report. 1.5 The third part is again general, being an explanation of the approach that should be taken to work on buildings in conservation areas. This is proposed as the basis for a general management framework, and which is to be extended to cover aspects of work in more detail. 1.6 This material is brought to the committee for information and commentary, and also for approval to present it to Sustainable Development Committee, for authorisation to undertake public consultation.

This section considers each of the character reaches in turn and examines how the historical development of each character reach has helped to determine its visual and cultural associations. The key issues and opportunities for enhancement of the River and riverside environment are highlighted in each character reach. This division of the River into sections and also the chosen boundaries between sections are artificial - the River is, of course, one and the sections merge into each other - but it provides a useful study tool. 4.2 Part 4 : Character Reach No.1 CHARACTER REACH NO.1 : KEW AND STRAND ON THE GREEN River Chart Name: Mortlake Reach Strand on the Green and Kew Railway Bridge 4.3 Thames Strategy - Kew to Chelsea Key Characteristics This character reach marks the start of the study Grove Park Duke’s Meadow Kew Riverside area and the gateway to the Royal Botanic Key Railway Hartington Wooded Kew Public Chiswick Mortlake Gardens in Kew.
