Welcome to the Isleworth Society Website

On 20th April 2022 the Council published a Statement of Case under the planning reference P/2020/4292, submitted by the Northumberland Estates, detailing their reasons for appealing Planning Committee’s October 2021 decision to refuse permission for build of 80 residential units on this site allowing a small allocation of land for allotments. The Planning Inspectorate validated this document mid-June and a decision is awaited as to whether it will be determined by means of Written Representation, thereby acquiescing with the Estate’s request, or if the Inspectorate will authorize an Inquiry in line with that of 2018 when the Council’s decision was upheld to decline building on the whole site with allotments relocated at Syon.

Ruth Cadbury, MP for Brentford & Isleworth, recently met with allotment holders at the Park Road site in Isleworth to support their campaign to protect their oasis from being closed down by the Duke of Northumberland Estate.

During her visit with local councillor Salman Shaheen, Ruth heard from local plot holders about the human and wildlife benefits the allotments have brought for over 100 years. Ruth also heard about ‘the huge uncertainty and distress plot holders have experienced because of the ongoing threat of closure’.

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.
