Steam Packet Steps (again!)

The latest planning application for two residential houseboat moorings at Steam Packet Steps has been recommended for REFUSAL by LBH Planning. 95 objections represents just under 50% of SoGA’s membership.

Thank you for helping to kill off this unwanted and intrusive scheme.

The Curve - update

The chiswickw4.com website has reported as follows:

The importance of the views and the character of the listed buildings along Strand on the Green, which was perhaps the most important panoramic view from the south side of the river Thames was stressed at the Public Inquiry into the 32-storey Chiswick Curve this Tuesday (19 June).

Richard Griffith, chairman of Strand on the Green Residents [sic] Association (SoGA) said that poor quality developments could harm the integrity of the Conservation Area. He told the Inquiry, in its second week, at Brentford Free Church, that there were currently ambitious plans for schemes which included tall buildings and these would have an impact on the wider character of Chiswick and their effect on the Conservation Area should be considered.

The skyline of Strand on the Green was currently broken in on by the BSI Tower at Gunnersbury.
