Hounslow Green Party welcomed the news that Hounslow Council's Planning Committee has told the Duke of Northumberland he cannot build eighty flats on Park Road Allotments in Isleworth. The vote was overwhelmingly against the plan as it would have meant loss of open space without contributing to genuinely affordable housing.
Green Party spokesman Anthony Agius said,
"I am delighted that councillors have ignored their planning officer’s recommendation and rejected the Duke's damaging proposals to concrete over these allotments. This is a good day for the plot-holders who have campaigned together with our ward councillors, The Isleworth Society and the whole community to save this precious green space, next to the parish church and the historic riverside of Old Isleworth. The pandemic has shown us that people value local open spaces more than ever"
