| I'm glad this has been mentioned, because compared with the TfL development, this proposal really is cynical and shoddy. It involves slapping down a 22 storey tower block with a bulky 'shoulder' to completely fill a large parking area on the edge of the industrial estate. It offers no open space around the building and no parking, and is twice the height and many times the density of the recently built Acton Gardens blocks nearby. Some other industrial units on the estate have already been picked off for replacement by residential blocks, but unlike Acton Gardens, and to some extent the TfL development, there's no coherent plan. If this block gets through, the whole industrial estate will soon became a free-for-all of residential developments with no thought to any overall infrastructure or community provision, and with the loss of many thriving local industries. I only hope the planning authorities will consider all the thought and good work that went into the design and reconstruction of Acton Gardens and reject this insulting and offensive proposal. |
