@MayorofLondon: We were outside City Hall yesterday encouraging you to give very careful consideration to our objections to the Tesco/Homebase redevelopment in Osterley and refuse the planning applications. We support development, we oppose overdevelopment.

@tonylouki @LBofHounslow @HounslowHways @HestonActionG @GuyLambert @unsachaudri @The_RHS @RHSBloom @LondonInBloomUK @IsleworthSocie1 Who is the Environmental Champion in OSG ward? It would be good for her to make contact with me, as I am the Lay Assessor for OSG ward with Hounslow Highways and also the organiser of Community Litter Picks in the ward

A reccy and response stroll last evening, spoke to a resident already a @LBofHounslow #EnvironmentalChampion; later relayed her support needs ideas. Great display of tree pits here, most are self seeded. Please check the flyer link and join up; be like Mrs A of #OSGWard.

@Gareth_Roberts_ @Listen_toLocals @OWGRA @justspace7 @NJROnline @andree_frieze @CandiceAtterton @michaellondonsf @createstreets @johnrmyers @London_Forum The insinuation that the 800+ objections to the Homebase/Tesco applications weren’t valid on planning grounds has not gone down well. @OWGRA worked very hard with the local community on valid objections. If you’d looked at the officers reports you would have seen that.

@Listen_toLocals @OWGRA @justspace7 @NJROnline @andree_frieze @CandiceAtterton @michaellondonsf @createstreets @johnrmyers @London_Forum I've checked against the video. Didn't say that.

"We need a revolution in planning" says @OWGRA @justspace7 @NJROnline @Gareth_Roberts_ @andree_frieze @CandiceAtterton @michaellondonsf @createstreets @johnrmyers @London_Forum listentolocals.co.uk/post/we-need-a…

50 bags of litter collected by 14 socially-distanced Osterley Community Litter Pickers along Windmill Lane. Best clear up we've ever done along that section in Osterley.

In Poland, millions of women across the country are striking after the government banned abortion. Refusing to go to work, drive, cook at home, or do anything until the ban is dropped. Poland's President today indicated they may have to change or reverse the law. ✊🏼

FACT 14 If the Tesco & Homebase development goes ahead, there will be an urgent need for a local public swimming pool (with 5 schools nearby). Existing pools are too far to meet the needs of Osterley people (Isleworth, Brentford, Heston). #FactsNotFiction thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 13 Access Storage being built at the old Shell garage will be 6-storeys (proposals for 14 and then 11 storeys were withdrawn and refused). Will the Council stop buildings of up to 17 storeys at Tesco & Homebase sites? #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 12 The developer is proposing 380 car parking spaces for 1670 homes on the Tesco site and 100 spaces for 480 homes on the Homebase site! Public transport is rated 2 (poor) with no funds in place for improvement. #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 11 The draft Great West Corridor Plan Review states that the number of units at the Tesco site should be 350 and at Homebase 340 (plus retail space), but the developer is planning way in excess of that (1670 + 480) #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 10 LB of Hounslow is in need of family homes, yet the developer of the Tesco & Homebase sites, Berkeley, is proposing that only 10% of homes would be 3-bed, with the rest being studio, 1 and 2 bed! #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction Find out more at thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 9 The Gillette Building is Grade II listed. The proposed high-rise blocks from Berkeley Homes of up to 17 storeys would tower over and obliterate views of this well-loved local heritage asset. #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction Find out more at thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 8 The current density of homes in Osterley & Spring Grove ward is 17 homes/hectare. With the proposed development at the Homebase site, the density would be 267 homes/hectare and at the current Tesco site 336 homes/hectare. #NoToTowerBlocks More info thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 7 How affordable is ‘affordable’? The developer of the Tesco/Homebase sites, Berkeley, sold homes nationwide at an average price of £677K as of Apr 2020 (previous year was £748K, they aim to get back to this figure asap). A price hardly affordable for young buyers.

FACT 6 This is what Gillette Corner looks like now and could look like if the Tesco & Homebase development goes ahead. #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction #ResidentsDeserveBetter Find out more at thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 5 High pollution levels at Gillette Corner have exceeded safe standards for years. What effect will this have on residents if the Tesco & Homebase development goes ahead? #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction Find out more at thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 4 - Tesco & Homebase development Syon Lane Station is already at capacity, with a steady increase in users from SKY. Southwest Trains have no budget to increase train frequency and capacity nor a timescale to do so. #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT 3 The Public Transport Access Level (PTAL) at Gillette Corner is 2 (‘poor’) on a scale from 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest), yet there is no funding for improvements if the Tesco & Homebase development goes ahead. #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction thb.owgra.org.uk

FACT Gillette Corner already operates above capacity and is dangerous, yet there are no plans to reconfigure/improve it, make it safer (no budget/timescale) if the Tesco & Homebase development goes ahead. #NoToTowerBlocks #FactsNotFiction Find out more at thb.owgra.org.uk
