Walking down the High Street yesterday I saw the awful site of the hoarding surrounding the former All Bar One. Then the news that the Hole in the Wall is also likely to go along with the Packhorse. So I walked on to take a look at the Packhorse and realised that it is a lovely building fitting well into the Chiswick vista (I averted my eyes from the awful Metro Bank). It would be a shame to lose this asset but the advice from Adam Beamish is sensible and sound and if we want to save it, the only option is to push for conservation area status. The owners will want to capitalise, as with Empire House, but we, the residents must work to get a compromise that allows profitable development and we get a building that fits in with what makes Chiswick a fantastic great. |
