Site address: Park Road Allotments Isleworth

The Isleworth Society remains committed to saving this vital piece of green open space which is not only an ACV (Asset of Community Value) but an important site of biodiversity. This is the FOURTH  time we have faced a battle to save this beautiful three-acre site from development, but the fight continues, and all support is appreciated.

The Northumberland Estates appealed to the Secretary of State against the October 2021 decision of the London Borough of Hounslow to refuse

URGENT: Update April 2023

Appeal Reference: APP/F5540/W/22/3297232 

Site address: Park Road Allotments Isleworth

Description of development: Erection of 80 residential dwellings, concierge building, car and cycle parking, landscaping and associated works; and infrastructure and other structures associated with allotment use.

You can read the Northumberland Estates’ Statement of Case for the Appeal here and also Hounslow Council’s Decision Notice here 

The Planning Inspectorate was conducting this appeal by a Written Representations procedure with a very short response timetable. However, we heard on 6 April that they have decided to change this procedure to a Full Public inquiry.  

The new timetable will be posted here once it is available

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.

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.
