Great West Corridor Plan (GWCP) Regulation 19 Consultation Draft July 2019 Contents Introduction 7 Setting the Scene 11 Vision and Objectives 14 Strategic Policies 16 Employment Growth 18 Housing Growth 25 Health and Wellbeing 31 Green Infrastructure and Open Space 34 Design and Heritage 39 Connecting People and Places 46 Places Policies 53 Great West Corridor West 56 Great West Corridor Central 62 Great West Corridor East 67 Delivery and Monitoring 74 Great West Corridor boundary Great West Corridor in West London Foreword The Council adopted its Local Plan in September 2015 and committed in the Plan to conduct two area reviews to look in detail at local improvements, investment and development opportunities to provide much needed housing and jobs in the Great West Corridor (Golden Mile) and West of Borough. In keeping with that commitment, it is with great pleasure that I am able to present here the Draft Submission version of Great West Corridor Plan (GWCP). This is being presented for consultation in parallel with a Draft Submission version of West of Borough Plan (WoBP). The GWCP will shape the location and scale of development in this area of the Borough up to 2034. Much care and attention has been taken in developing a Plan to make the most of the opportunities and tackle the regeneration needs and numerous challenges within the GWC area. Taking the existing Local Plan’s lead, the Plan provides a comprehensive place-making approach to the area, and seeks to provide opportunities for increased business location amongst a range of commercial sectors and thus the potential for more high quality jobs, housing opportunities including affordable housing to meet the needs of the Borough, an improved environment and improved connectivity to address the negative impacts of major roads crossing the area, and significantly better infrastructure. It seeks to improve the vibrancy and vitality of the area through introducing additional land uses to business such as housing, retail and leisure uses, and to ‘knit’ the area together to create a much more functional place. The Plan is highly aspirational, seeking to drive forward real change and provide opportunities for the area and the Borough. In order to meet those objectives of course there are challenges and difficult decisions and debates, particularly through a policy option of promoting higher density development and introducing an element of a mixed land use approach. However, I believe that if the Council is to achieve its ambitious London Plan growth targets and regeneration ambitions for wider benefit of the Borough’s residents and businesses these difficult decisions need to be made. These two area reviews have been shaped by ongoing consultation and engagement involving local people, businesses, community groups and external partners and ward councillor ‘Members Working Group’ has helped to steer and shape the content of the Plan. I commend this Plan to you and look forward to engaging with you on your thoughts on the ambitious objectives, policies contained within it Consultation information When and how to respond Comments must be given in writing no later than 5pm on Monday 19th August Overview 2019, preferably on-line at: This six-week consultation is the last chance to comment on the Great West https://www.hounslow.gov.uk/info/20034/planning_policy/1545/local_plan_- Corridor Plan (GWCP) before it undergoes a public examination. _reviews We want to make sure it is developed in consultation with residents and Unfortunately, we are unable to accept late responses. stakeholders.

  • 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.

  • Comment Keep Osterley Green Metropolitan Open Land Planning
    Appendix 1 Consultation responses: Comment Keep Osterley Green Metropolitan Open Land Planning restrictions on MOL have not been properly considered. The constant erosion of open space is unsustainable, irreversible and contrary to the NPPF, London Plan and Hounslow Local Plan. The application site has not been designated for development in the Hounslow Local Plan. The site is not currently used for education and as such the expansion or provision of new education facilities into open space would be contrary to Policy GB3. The justification for development in MOL, based on ‘very special circumstances’ rests entirely on the claim that there are no alternative sites within Hounslow. The proposal would result in a precedent of permitting inappropriate development in MOL. Sequential site assessment This analysis is deeply flawed and alternative sites are available which do not impact on MOL. The application site was not shortlisted as an educational site following the Borough’s site sequential assessment carried out by Cundall in 2014 and was highlighted as a non-preferred site in the Local Plan Sustainability Appraisal. The Nishkam School Trust had already chosen the site before the sequential assessment was undertaken. The initial parameters (e.g. site size, building height, requirement for a nursery) were inflexible and ruled out a wide range of other possibilities. The assessment does not follow an objective, non-arbitrary approach against defined criteria and scoring measures. A number of sites were included, such as Osterley Park, Syon Park, West Middlesex University Hospital, Mogden Sewage Treatment Works, the Treaty Centre, etc. that were entirely inappropriate and should not have even been considered.
