Main Issues

• Car dominated environment
• Significant air and noise pollution
• Poor walking and cycling

connectivity and fragmented urban environment

• Strong international company

presence

• Strong car showroom presence
• Development pressure for tall

buildings, particularly in Brentford East

• Threat of conversion of old office

stock into residential units through permitted development

• Heritage Assets and sensitive

views

• Lack of amenities, vitality and

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs):

• used to provide more information and guidance on the policies in an adopted L

Plan.

• produced quicker than a Local Plan
• not subject to independent examination.
• Do not have the same status as DPDs, but are still material considerations when

assessing development proposals. Brentford East SPD:

• Brentford East SPD study area is in the east of the London Borough of Hounslo

between the Brentford and Chiswick, directly south of Gunnersbury Park and n the River Thames at Kew Bridge.

dentified important views and locations with where he heritage setting is particularly vulnerable. Views from or to designated heritage assets and their ettings. Need to protect assets from development that has a negative effect on their heritage value. Cooperation between LB Hounslow, Historic England, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Views have been used to test and model different height scenarios, allowing for qualitative assessment

• f the impact of development heights

Coordinated approach: Accepts taller buildings form part of development. Heights limited to a tested appropriate threshold. Minimise impact on sensitive views. Placemaking through design. Scattered approach:

• Accepts tall development at sites almost

anywhere across a broad area.

• Modelling shows a skyline of scattered towers.
• Would lead to significant change to a number of

sensitive views.

Two alternatives to development:
