I've had a prompt and reassuring reply this morning from Clare O'Brien, the Director at CHGT. "I believe this notice is an Amendment Order, i.e. the Cherry Orchard at Chiswick House and Gardens should have been included in planning documents in 2011 regarding the car parking area. I am checking this with colleagues at the Council. All the improvement works to enable the Cherry Orchard to act as a car park were completed by 2010 and there are no further plans." So, as I suspected, the draft traffic order is merely a means to apply enforcement to the existing overflow car park on the grass in the north-western end of the walled garden ('the cherry orchard', apparently). The statement of reasons on the traffic notice was valid 5 years ago but is now misleading. |
