| Adam Your generalisation brush is too wide. Let me give you an example of a beneficial consultation involving us local non - concept residents who sometimes have to live next to 'interesting' buildings endorsed by planning experts but subsequently ravaged by CABE and others Notting Hill Housing Assocaiation purchased the old VW site in Chiswick High Rd. They published their initial plans outside the planning process and there was rightly uproar at their horrendous proposals. Diverse subsequent consulation with numerous interested parties has radically changed (for the better in my view) the proposed development. Some still have reservations. Having the opportunity to contribute and challenge when necessary is important and democratic. You also briefly mention your historial recollections of your Area Committee experiences. You compare Heston Area Comittee with Chiswick. You may wish to look at a recent perverse and subsequently overturned by our SDC decision not to enforce. Overwhelming evidence-photographs etc of an illegal building ignored by Labour Councillors. |
