On 7th September 2021 came the news that London’s Deputy Mayor for Planning Regulation and Skills, Jules Piper CBE, indicated he was content to let Hounslow Council determine these planning applications, subject to any action that the Secretary of State might take, and did not wish to direct refusal or to take over the application for his own determination. The application, previously approved by Hounslow Council, involves demolition of the existing Homebase store and building of a new Tesco store on that site with 2 levels of parking above, plus 473 flats, and a residential development replacing the existing Tesco store with 1,677 homes.

Protracted negotiations have been concluded with the Council to improve the area surrounding Isleworth Clock Tower War Memorial. The agreement is to renew the landscape planting with the aim of Hounslow Highways implementing this in the Autumn. TIS felt able to contribute towards the cost in order to achieve the desired overall outcome, not least thanks to an anonymous donor’s previous generous contributions to TIS’s funds. In February 2020 TIS obtained a quotation for renovation of the war memorial itself in the hope funding could be found to enable work to be completed by June 2022. This to tie in with the 100thanniversary of its unveiling. Covid-19 got in the way of taking this forward but it is now being brought to the fore.
As with so many aspects progress on renovation of the pedestrian gates at Park Road cemetery came to a halt during the Covid crisis. Agreement to this was gained from the Council Leader when refurbishment of the vehicles gates was celebrated in November 2019. A quotation was obtained by the Council the next month, followed by officer advice that a business case was being prepared to secure the necessary funding. Renewal of the quotation and the Council officer’s search to source the necessary finance is now hopefully back on track.
Park Road Allotments Saved!
On 14th Oct Hounslow’s Planning Committee refused the application from Northumberland Estates to redevelop the Park Road Allotments site. The Isleworth Society is proud to have been a part of the campaign to protect this local green space. It thanks the very many local residents and groups, as well as the regional and national organisations, who took the time to object to the Application.
