| Hi Brentfordians - Last week the new Shepherd's Bush Housing / Bugler development of flats at the end of York Rd (what used to be the New Inn pub) built over what was a dropped kerb - which formed part of the turning circle at the end of the street. This is very annoying and means we can't turn cars around easily / safely any more in what is a fairly long / narrow + increasingly congested cul-de-sac. It won't just affect residents - but also visitors (deliveries, post, milk, bins etc) and emergency services wanting to get in + out of the street. I tried to see if this was within Shepherd's Bush Housing Planning Application / Consent (Planning Ref. 01244/AB/P10)- and from all that I can read online in the Hounslow planning files, it doesn't seem to be. The Planning drawings all show the dropped kerb intact and not modified, and as far as I can recall/tell there was no neighbour consultation on this change from Planning drawing details. So I am wondering if this might be an 'illegal' development / infringement, and if there might be any grounds / avenue to have it restored.. I've tried tweeting Hounslow / Shepherd's Bush / Bugler for a response - but nothing. Have just logged a 'Planning infringement' thing with Hounslow in the hope they are obliged to formally respond. If anyone's got any better advice on how to check the official status / legality of this, or even speak directly to planning folks, I'd be interested to hear. Many thanks, Tony (York Rd) |
