The Hounslow Council Planning Committee scheduled a meeting for Thursday, 1 May 2025, to discuss several planning applications, including a consultation on a Planning Enforcement Plan and the erection of a replacement house in Chiswick.

Here's a breakdown of the key items on the agenda:

Planning Enforcement Plan Consultation

The Planning Committee was scheduled to note a report on the council's emerging Planning Enforcement Plan. The plan, which was opened for public consultation on 1 April 2025, aims to provide residents with guidance on the planning enforcement system, the council's enforcement powers, and what they can expect from the Planning Enforcement Team. The consultation period was scheduled to end on 30 June 2025.

1 Burlington Lane, Chiswick

The committee was scheduled to consider an application for the demolition and redevelopment of 1 Burlington Lane in Chiswick. The proposal involves the construction of a part-6, part-10 storey building with 132 self-contained flats, flexible commercial floorspace, associated car parking, amenity space, landscaping, and public realm improvements.

The application site is located within the Chiswick House Conservation Area, approximately 200m from the Grade I listed Chiswick House. The report pack notes that Historic England had objected to the proposals, contending that it would have a harmful impact on the Old Chiswick Conservation Area and its component listed buildings.

The committee was informed that the application was recommended for approval, subject to conditions, a Section 106 Agreement, and a Section 278 Agreement.

1-15 Chiswick Terrace, Acton Lane

The Planning Committee was scheduled to assess an application concerning 1-15 Chiswick Terrace, which proposes the erection of a six-storey building to create an 85-bed residential specialist care facility (Class C2) and one retail unit, along with landscaping, cycle and waste storage, and other associated works, following demolition of the existing buildings.

The site is located within the Turnham Green Conservation Area and adjacent to a Grade II Listed public house known as ‘The Old Packhorse’.

The committee was informed that the application was recommended for approval subject to conditions and the completion of a Section 106 Agreement.

Cranford Community College, High Street, Cranford

The Planning Committee was scheduled to discuss an application concerning Cranford Community College, which seeks the retention of the existing dome and ancillary plant previously approved under planning ref 00608/E/P34 as a permanent permission.

The application site is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt. The report pack notes that the application was recommended for approval subject to conditions, a s106 legal agreement and referral to the Secretary of State and Mayor of London.
