This from the Brentford TV Facebook page. At the heart of the discussion was a City Hall/GLA report, published 10 June, which states: ‘The proposed 508 car parking spaces are wholly unacceptable as they are likely to attract more car trips to Brentford High Street, which is already congested, and will worsen air quality. The proposed five-year time limit would not mitigate the impacts of the proposal to make it acceptable on the basis outlined in NPPF and NPPG. The number of parking spaces proposed must be reduced to no higher than the s106 requirement of 150 spaces for the granted outline consent’. The GLA also states the scheme does not comply with the London Plan and draft, and as such recommends the Council resolves to refuse permission, and then goes on to say it must be referred back to the GLA for decision if the Council resolves to grant permission. Martin Case, of Brentford Voice, told Steve Curran and the forum: "Ballymore are continuing to construct a building without planning permission, and it is clear that the chances of planning permission being given for a 508 space car park are slim. What are the council going to do about this? Can the council please serve a Temporary Stop Notice to stop the unauthorised building works immediately? This would give a period of time for the council to decide whether to serve an enforcement notice to cease unauthorised works, and it would outline the steps to be taken to remedy the harm. It would also give Ballymore the opportunity to re-think their proposals, in the light of the very clear GLA report opposing the works that they have started without obtaining planning permission first." |
