| I note that Dominion House, already a feature of Chiswick High Road, is to be reconstructed as part of this application. The other buildings, at 7-8 stories, cannot be deemed as "high rise" on any reasonable definition of the meaning of this term. The issues seem to be: 1)Are the new buildings overbearing in relation to their neighbours? 2)Are the proposed designs acceptable or not? 3)Do the new buildings meet parking and amenity requirements as specified in the local plan? And similar associated matters. Wailing about high rise buildings when they clearly are not will weaken opposition to this application regardless of the wider issues. |
