What are you proposing?
The proposals will provide a mixed-use development at 4 Bedfont Lane comprising ground floor commercial space and 73 new homes.
How many of the homes will be affordable?
35% of the new homes will be affordable.
Will the proposals be ‘Secured by Design’?
The proposals will be examined by the Metropolitan Police Service’s ‘Secured by Design’ team that works to improve the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings to provide safe places to live, work, shop and visit.
Who makes the decision on the application?
The London Borough of Hounslow are the local planning authority (LPA). The planning team will analyse all the application documents and plans that will be submitted as part of the application. All these will be available to view on the council’s website once the application has been submitted. We will provide a link from this website to the appropriate page on the council website.
The summary of their analysis will be presented to a group of elected councillors – the Planning Committee. At a meeting open to the public, they will hear a summary of the application from the planning officers and will also hear from supporters and objectors. They will then decide whether or not the application should be approved. A date for this meeting has not yet been set.
Will construction be noisy?
Modern construction methods tend to be less noisy than in the past. Construction hours will be discussed with the Local Planning Authority during the determination process, and it is likely that these will be limited so as to reduce, as much as possible, the impact of noise of nearby residents and local businesses.
What is the timeline of this application?
We will submit the application in the Spring of 2022. Construction is expected to take two years.
Will there be any car parking?
With the exception of three blue badge bays there will be no parking provided as part of the proposals. The applicant shares the London Borough of Hounslow’s ambition of promoting sustainable travel, through the provision of cycle storage.
I am unable to make the online Q&A sessions. Will there be an opportunity to view them at a later date?
Yes, the online Q&A sessions will be made available on this website shortly after the final event.
