Project 2: Residential development in Chiswick

Client: Taylor Woodrow

Background:

Taylor Woodrow had been promoting a small site on the riverside at Chiswick for some time.   Applications had been submitted and rejected.

The waterside at Chiswick

Programme:

We began with our research in order to identify the key players locally and in Hounslow.   We met with councillors and local residents and also planning councillors and the portfolio holder.

A range of benefits were identified that included the preservation of a waterside crane and the extension of the Thames path.

We promoted these benefits amongst the planning committee and ward members.

One of our main opponents was Lady Dido Berkeley, a person who campaigns to 'preserve' the Thames Riverside and was running a very effective campaign to stop the scheme.

We produced a statement of community involvement as part of the planning application.

Outcomes:

The committee approved the application unanimously.
