| Steve in answer to your question, what’s needed is a direction which fits with the needs and requirements of the community. On the surface it would appear there is no meaningful town centre plan and no planning briefs to guide developers and to measure applications. Residents deserve a clear vision where all assumptions are challenged and answered collectively by both local government and the community working together. Brentford and its community is unique and vibrant and doesn’t seek to be an imitation or copy of any other borough or area of London. So development should seek to foster, serve, and enrich the existing foundations, not to remould or reshape it. Residents aren’t against the development of sites in Brentford, but are keen they should first be proportional, and second be subject to more joined up thinking from planning. As such they should not be viewed in isolation but provide viable and sustainable assets for the community of Brentford. Assets which complement existing provision and celebrate Brentford by adopting appropriate proportions in keeping with neighbouring buildings. |
