I am a resident of Chiswick Village and I oppose this development, along with the majority of other individual resident shareholders. Many of the comments on this forum regarding this matter are wholly inaccurate and unsubstantiated. CVRL have been fighting the development on behalf of the majority of residents. They did this with our full backing. Regular (packed) meetings were held and all residents and shareholders have been kept informed at all times. The complexities of this case are such that it is impossible to go into them in detail on this forum. Suffice to say, we understand the roof space was 'procured' in dubious circumstances by a multiple shareholder and former CVRL director many years ago. He and his developers have made several applications to develop our roof space over the years, all of which have been refused until now. At no point has the developer engaged with the residents in a constructive manner. Indeed, we have been treated with utter disregard (believe me, that is putting it mildly). The lives of hundreds of people will be negatively affected by this development - both residents of the village and those in surrounding streets - and all for the sake of 15 new penthouses. As a fully engaged resident, who has listened carefully and studied all available material in detail, I cannot see how this development benefits anyone other than the developers and their associates. I therefore continue to support CVRL and their opposition to the development wholeheartedly along with countless others. |
