Simon,

 

Do we know the exact site boundary of the land mentioned?

 

Brendan.

Hi Brenden,

Thanks so much for your email reply.

Just some points i need to clarify:

- If a company wishes to obtain planning permission for a certain plot of land, what are the steps? who to approach? Is the London Borough of Hounslow's planning department the department which eventually grants the planning permission?

- Also, profitable plots told me that they've been invited by the local council to make the first stage of the planning process and now they are at stage 4 of planning permission and have sent in three proposals, is that true?

- Also, they mentioned that their plot in hounslow, the concorde village, it's a total of 576 sq feet where 70 acres is in the green belt while 50 acres is a brown field which they are planning to work on. And they maintain that the part which is on the greenbelt will just be a landscape. Is that true or feasible?

Thank you so much for your time Brenden. I'm a journalist with a Singapore paper - The Straits Times. We're just checking to see if this company is out to scam singaporeans into buying plots of land which will eventually not have the chance of obtaining planning permission to be developed. So i would really love your advice. Hope to hear from you asap.

Thanks,

I have been forwarded your query on Concorde Village, Feltham. We have been receiving a number of queries on this site and our response is set out below.
It is understood 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'? To consider a site in the green belt it would have to be demonstrated that we could not achieve our current target for new housing development. The Council has demonstrated that we have enough housing land on previously developed (brownfield) sites available to meet its housing target for a least the next 8 years, and potentially considerably longer. We have also demonstrated through a recent development plan document that we have enough existing land ca! pacity to meet current employment growth projections for at least the next 10 years.
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.
