Hounslow Green Party are relieved that the Northumberland Estates has failed to gain planning permission to build 80 flats on most of Park Road Allotments in Isleworth.
Anthony Agius, a Green Party member and an allotment holder, had spoken out against the proposal to build seven blocks of flats on the Park Road Allotments in Isleworth at the Planning Appeal Inquiry, when he highlighted the impact on biodiversity and the existing Green Corridor for wildlife. Today Anthony said:
" I welcome the decision to turn down this planning appeal. This is the second time in 5 years that the Northumberland Estates has been prevented from concreting over this precious green space in Isleworth. I hope that the Duke of Northumberland will finally take No for an answer and re-let the vacant plots on the site. I would like to thank local ward councillors, The Isleworth Society, Park Road Allotments Association and everyone who signed petitions and supported the campaign to save this open space."
