It has new planning applications P/2025/2496 for the police site and p/2025/2495 for the riverside site (IE the old Watermans and Max Factor buildings)
As local councillors we had no preview of those other than an assurance that something was coming. I was upset about that - in previous years we were closely engaged with such important proposals but that important part of democracy appears to have been abolished in Hounslow.
Following protests from me and from Katherine Dunne (and perhaps others) we have been informed "officers are working on organising a briefing session for all Brentford ward councillors early November and a public presentation a meeting the middle/end of November. "
My understanding is that the application is seen as viable but has some concerns expressed by Brentford Voice and the Friends of Watermans Park and some matters seem to be missing according to planning experts.
Of course we do not know of the opinion of other stakeholders, especially the Royal Palaces who caused Michael Gove to call in the previous approved application. The Planning Inspector finally agreed with the council and its planning committee (not the Royal Park objection) but by the time that was settled, we had had a pandemic, Brexit, new regulations after the impact of Grenfell and a weakening of the housing market. That includes special difficulties for Housing Associations whose involvement will be crucial - much of their funds these days go to improving exusting sites following Grenfell, a factor which has given us a new lease from Lidl on the former Morrisons site let by the L&Q Housing Association. Not necessarily a bad outcome because Lidl is an asset and both I amd Mel Collins voted against the original Morrisons redevelopment.
I look forward to the promised engagement and I hope that leads to a new Arts centre in a short timescale.
