| Copied from the front page of ChiswickW4.com - the question - already posed by someone, is why on earth Hounslow Council isn't developing these sites for social housing, instead of possibly/probably more unaffordable 'affordable housing'? Publicly owned areas specified for affordable housing Comment on this story on the forum A number of small publicly owned sites in Chiswick are being made available to small developers, housing associations, and communities for affordable housing. The sites, mainly in Turnham Green ward and Chiswick Riverside ward can be seen on the GLA website and are for Registered Providers who can submit a bid for these sites and demonstrate what could be achieved. The Chiswick Riverside batch (above) includes sites at The Lindens, Quinton Court, Spencer Road. The batch of three Small Sites within the Chiswick Riverside area of Hounslow is available on a 250-year lease, subject to planning. The sites in the Turnham Green ward include land on the west side of Garth Road, Chiswick, W4 4QL; Land to the west of Gunnersbury Close, Chiswick, W4 4AH; Land at Oxford Court, Wellesley Road, Chiswick, W4 4DJ. Both areas are roughtly 0.5 acres and proposals need to be submitted by 27 September 2019. Hounslow Council will then assess any submitted bids. Once a successful partner is selected, consultation with local councillors and residents will be conducted prior to any planning application being submitted. This will be done in partnership with the Council and a Registered Provider. If the sites are deemed suitable for development and are approved through a full planning process, they will contribute to the 5000 pledge to provide more affordable housing in the borough. |
