Subject: Concorde Village/Profitable Plots.
,
Your e-mail query to Simon Hoets has been forwarded to me from Pat Boissieux. We have received a number of queries
on this subject and have set out below our response.
My understanding is that
'Profitable Plots' own this site in Chertsey
Road. The site is part of London's Metropolitan Green Belt and is
mostly also identified as a nature conservation area in the Hounslow Unitary
Development Plan. Both of these designations mean that residential development
is very unlikely to be acceptable. If you would like further information about
green belt policy you could look up PPG2 (UK Government Planning Policy
Guidance on green belts). This will tell you that any building construction in
green belts, other than in exceptional circumstances, has little chance of
getting planning permission. You can also see the London Borough of Hounslow's
Unitary Development Plan online (hounslow.gov.uk) and this will give you the
same message.
What I can not confirm is
whether or not the site will remain part of the green belt. Profitable Plots have
made a case to the Council to have it excluded. This will be considered at the
appropriate time in the future - certainly not in the immediate future. The
indications are that the likelihood of exclusion is limited.
In previous queries it has
been stated that PP have indicated that there is a current planning application
and that we have asked for a higher density. This isn't the case if we are
talking about the Chertsey Road
site - and I can't think of another that it might be confused with. I wonder if
there might be a misunderstanding about the term 'planning permission'?
In conclusion, in my
opinion there is no chance whatever of this land not being green belt this time
next year. And this means that the chances of a speculative planning permission
being granted, within this time, for residential development is next to nil.
The chances for such a permission over the longer
period depend upon major changes to the planning regime - not impossible to
imagine but, in my personal view, unlikely in the foreseeable future.
Regards,
Brendan Tinney.
