Application REFUSED

On 14th October 2021 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.

Park Road Allotment Gardens

A Designated Local Open Space in Isleworth

If you agree it is WRONG to:


  • Cement over greenspace land
  • Remove allotments when plots are in short supply
  • Destroy a wildlife haven
  • Allow trees to be felled


then please help oppose a planning application which, if approved, will do just this.


The relevant Planning Application (P/2020/4292) can be viewed here - copy the ref before you follow this link so you can paste it into the search facility of the planning portal.


Don't delay. Act today.


Comments will be accepted by Hounslow Council up until a decision is made probably at a Planning Committee meeting in October (see above).
