| One of the store owners in that area told me, a few days ago, that he understood that it was proposed that Sainsbury would be moved to front line on CHR under Empire House. I had thought that this proposal was dead but apparently not and this therefore leads to the redevelopment of the current Sainsbury site together with the car park. Apart from the questions about appearance onto the conservation area, access, parking, deliveries, capability of the infrastructure etc. to cope with the traffic which is currently dispersed over several roads; the prospect of more and very dense high rise developments to come is not a pleasing one. It really is important that we, the residents, get the redevelopment precedent for what is being proposed sort out or we are lost for the future. Yes we all want this area redeveloped - that is not in dispute but the majority of people who attended the meetings and have since completed the survey want Chiswick to stay low rise and to have sympathetically designed buildings which are for the benefit of all. Not one of you has mentioned 'affordable housing'. What does that mean to you and to Chiswick - in all forms of interpretation? |
