Notification of Consultation on Character and Design Code SPD
We have launched consultation on the emerging Borough Character and Design Code SPD (Supplementary Planning Document) and will be consulting until 13th May 2022. The aim of this emerging SPD is to update our existing character and context study and include design codes for the borough. It will play a crucial role in shaping future development to ensure that it responds positively to our borough’s character and is of high-quality design– ensuring that local people can live, work and thrive in sustainable, healthy, social, and well-designed places.
An interactive version of the consultation document can be viewed & responded to online via our new Local Plan Maker Consultation Platform .
The PDF version of the consultation document can be accessed via our project webpage .
We are running two consultation workshops, which are an opportunity to give feedback on the document and get answers to any queries that you may have. Details on how to sign up to the workshops can be found at the event webpage . If you have already signed up to a workshop an invite will be issued to you shortly.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at ldf@hounslow.gov.uk if you have any queries on the project or consultation.
Planning Permission for Charlton House, Albany House and Osier Court

If you would like to watch the planning meeting, you can view it on YouTube by searching for Hounslow Council Planning 21 March 2022.
This is a very significant and exciting milestone for the regeneration of the homes for residents and the new Neighbourhood Retail Centre.

Resident involvement has shaped the proposals, which will be of very high standard of design that deliver very modern flats that we hope you will be proud to call home.

Next Resident Steering Group meeting
The RSG meetings have proven successful in the past and their contributions is valued in shaping of the new neighbourhood. The next RSG event will be an in-person workshop on Thursday 19 August 2021 at the Convent Way Community Centre. Due to covid-19 restrictions operating in the community centre the workshop will run over two sessions (afternoon and evening). Residents need to confirm, which session they want to attend.
The RSG workshop will be designing the consultation programme for the next stage to ensure everyone can get involved and decide what types of activities and information is needed over the next six months.
Activities can include exhibitions, workshops and producing brochures. Visits to other developments and specifically events that are targeted at young people, older people and disabled residents. Residents are asked to bring their ideas to the workshop.
If there are members who do not feel safe to attend an in-person event or cannot make either dates, we run an online workshop on Monday 23 August 2 021. Please contact a member of the team if you wish to attend.
Calling new members
Any residents who want to get involved in shaping their new neighbourhood is encouraged to attend the workshop and join the group.
In the meantime, if residents have any questions about the regeneration or about housing issues, they can speak to the team:
• In person: Make an appointment to meet at the Community Centre or have a home visit.
Drop in at the community centre every Thursday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• By phone: Miguel on 020 8583 5858 or Tracey 020 8583 4726
• By email: conventwayregen@hounslow.gov.uk
Ballot Success
There has been overwhelming support for the regeneration plans for Convent Way with 80% voting YES. There was a 85.5% turnout of residents, which is one of the largest turnout in a residents ballot.
The journey became more challenging along the way as the council was not able to engage and consult with resident in the way that we normally would. Over the consultation, we were able to speak directly with over 90% of residents and offer a variety of engagement options to enable them to safely engage.
This is a clear message of support and we will continue to work in partnership with all residents, so together we can transform the neighbourhood and residents' lives through the delivery of high-quality, well-designed housing and improved public space.
Next steps
We will continue to work on the designs for the new neighbourhood, develop the planning application for the whole estate and phase 1a, which will be the first new homes to be built. We expect to submit a planning application into the council by March 2022.
During the summer, the Estate Regeneration Team will hold workshops, events (online and in person) as well as regular newsletters. We will also be consulting the retail shops on Convent Way as well as the wider community as part of this stage. The Estate Regeneration Team will continue to hold the Thursday surgeries at the Community Centre between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Character and Design Study Engagement Workshop 2: Design Codes
Dear Stakeholder,
We are preparing a an update to our 2014 Urban Context and Character, which includes proposing Design Codes for the borough in line with London and National policies. This updated study will play a crucial role in shaping future development to ensure that it is of high quality design and responds positively to our borough’s character. More information on the Character and Design Codes SPD can be found at our webpage: https://www.hounslow.gov.uk/info/20034/planning_policy/2301/emerging_borough_character_and_design_study_spd
Following the Character Area workshop that was held in March, we are holding a further engagement workshop on options for Design Codes.
You are warmly invited to join us at our stakeholder workshop on: 12th May 2021 from 6pm to 7:30pm.
The purpose of the workshop is for you to feedback on proposed area design codes and give your thoughts on any additional design codes that could be included in an SPD.
We have put together an informative video to explain what design codes are, what they aim to do and how you can get involved. Link: https://vimeo.com/539853481
The format of the workshop will begin with a short presentation explaining what design codes are and their purpose. We will then break out and spend more time in area based discussion groups to look at the proposed design codes for each of the areas. There will then be an extended period of discussion time to give feedback on the proposed options, propose alternative codes and come up with new codes that shape the future of your neighbourhoods. The draft design code document will be issued in advance of the workshop.
The area based discussion groups will be split into the following:
Bedfont, Feltham, Hanworth
Central Hounslow
Hounslow West, Heston and Cranford
Isleworth and Osterley
Chiswick
Brentford
Places will be limited, as each group is capped at 15 people to ensure that discussion can take place and everyone can give their feedback.
Please email hounslow@alliesandmorrison.com by Thursday 6th May if you plan to attend, stating which area based group you would like to be involved in.
A zoom link will be issued closer to the workshop date.
Kind regards

It is important that you get involved in shaping these proposals and give us your feedback.
Residents on Convent Way have received the Design brochure, which sets out initial ideas for the design of the new neighbourhood. Each page is looking at an area that the residents raised in their feedback at the design competition exhibition in October.

Character and Design Study: Engagement Workshop 1- Character Areas and Opportunities
Dear Stakeholder,
We are preparing an update to our 2014 Urban Context and Character Study, which includes proposing Design Codes for the borough. This updated study will play a crucial role in shaping future development to ensure that it is of high quality design and responds positively to our borough’s character. It is proposed that the Character Study will be adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document and will be formally consulted on in Spring 2021.
Responses to our “Tell us about your Neighbourhood” Commonplace survey in January- February 2021 helped us to better define character area boundaries and told us about the characteristics of neighbourhoods.
We are now holding a workshop to discuss amendments on the character areas based on feedback and to help us define opportunities to improve these character areas.
We would like you to join us at our stakeholder workshop on:
Wednesday 3rd March, 6-7:30pm
The workshop will be run by Hounslow Spatial Planning Officers and our Consultants, Allies and Morrison (who are town planners and urban designers).
There will be a short presentation, followed by further discussion in area specific breakout groups. During the event, you will be able to select which area specific breakout group you would like to give your thoughts at.
The area breakout groups will be split into:
If you would like to give feedback for more than one area, you could send a representative to another area breakout group. Alternatively, we will record the event and upload it to the website, which you can re-watch and send any feedback in writing to Officers after the event.
Register in advance for this meeting:

We want to hear from you...again!
At the start of 2020 we launched the Keeping Hounslow Safe Together CommonPlace page to hear what you had to say about crime in Hounslow, what our focus should be for Hounslow’s new Community Safety Strategy and what more we could do to keep our neighbourhoods safe.
The CommonPlace page ran until April and we had almost 200 people contributed to the site!
We also attended public and private events in the local community, to capture your comments, feedback and ideas. We took part in a total of 17 community events to hear what you had to say. The events took place in a variety of venue's up and down the borough, and we tried to capture as many voices as possible.
The events and our CommonPlace page were put on hold in April due to Coronavirus.
Since the Coronavirus pandemic started the world has changed and so has Hounslow. To help us keep Hounslow safe we need to understand the pandemic’s current and future impact on crime and community safety - and we want to hear from you again to help do this.
We will still use all your comments from before the pandemic to inform our new strategy, but we want to know what changes you’ve seen in crime since Coronavirus and if there are any other issues that we need to focus on.
This will make sure that our new Community Safety Strategy reflects the voices of people in Hounslow now, in this extraordinary time we all find ourselves in.
The CommonPlace page will be open again for 4 weeks and we want to as many of you as possible to comment on the web page.
You can click here to comment on the map as many times as you want. The borough is highlighted in purple and you can use the map to pin-point specific locations in Hounslow.
Remember Hands, Face, Space and don’t forget to share the CommonPlace page on social media and with people you know!

Consultation Report & Priority Measures
Hi All,
Following the update on the project last month, I’m able to confirm that the consultation report has now been uploaded to the ‘About’ section of the website. This report contains analysis of the comments received in late 2019, looking into the key themes, ‘hotspot’ locations where there were a number of comments on the same issue in close proximity and a breakdown of the feedback geographically. Alongside this, the report looks at the traffic data collected, with supporting maps summarising the volume of traffic across the area and the proportion of through traffic (i.e. traffic using residential streets as a cut through between major roads). These two sets of information are brought together, in conjunction with the initial aims of the project, to form a set of priorities going forward.
As mentioned in the previous news update, a number of measures are now being prioritised as part of the council’s Streetspace programme , in response to Covid-19. For the Liveable Neighbourhood project, this means prioritising the ‘low traffic neighbourhood’ elements of the project which seek to reduce traffic volumes across the project area, in turn creating a quieter, safer neighbourhood that prioritises walking and cycling for local journeys. A number of measures are therefore proposed, including closing roads to traffic and various access restrictions, as illustrated in the map below. Full information can be found on the ‘About’ page of the project website, and also via this press release .
The first measure, a trial closure of Dan Mason Drive to through traffic, has been implemented, feedback on which is welcome via traffic@hounslow.gov.uk . Further measures are proposed to be implemented between June and September. All proposals are trials and require funding from Transport for London in order to be delivered. There will be ongoing communication with residents prior to the trials going in, along with more updates provided via this project website.
Project Update
Hi All,
I hope you are all staying safe and well during these uncertain times. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has led to significant changes in travel patterns and behaviours across the borough. Many more people are walking and cycling for local journeys and to ensure they exercise during the lockdown period. At the same time traffic volumes are significantly lower on most roads, but elements of speeding have increased. The council wants to ensure the street environment prioritises people, and enables as many local journeys to be made by foot and bike. This is of particular importance when more people begin to return to work and traffic volumes increase.
With that in mind, the council is currently considering if elements of the project could be brought forward on a trial basis. This includes any temporary measures which can help to ensure adequate space is provided for people wishing to walk or cycle, but also that traffic volumes and speeds are managed. This is being prioritised by the council as part of our transport response to the Covid-19 outbreak, more details on which can be found here.
The first measure to be brought forward is a 6 month trial closure of the road through Dukes Meadows as it passes under the railway bridge. Access will be maintained for those on foot or bike. This removes a pinch-point where pedestrians and cyclists often come into conflict with vehicles in a narrow space with limited visibility. The closure will ensure adequate space is provided for those on foot and bike, prioritises their safety and enables physical distancing. Plans for this are currently being drawn up and more details will be shared on this website as soon as possible.
Going forward, the council will update residents on results of the wider Liveable Neighbourhood consultation from last year, and the priorities for the project going forward, later this month via this website. As part of this update we will be asking your views on some suggestions for possible trial traffic management measures that could be implemented on the network in the coming weeks. We look forward to resident feedback on those.
More broadly, the current crisis will likely impact the funding available to implement some elements of the Liveable Neighbourhood project in the immediate future. Council officers are in regular communication with Transport for London to understand this in more detail, as the situation develops.
Piazza Consultation Events Cancelled
Hi All,
Unfortunately, due to the current Coronavirus outbreak, the council has decided to cancel the proposed consultation sessions, which were planned for Wednesday 18 and Saturday 21 March. We want to ensure that despite these sessions not running, residents have the opportunity to discuss the proposals with a council officer. Please use the contact details at the bottom of this page, to contact the lead officer (Tom Sharland) if you would like to discuss the proposals in more detail prior to submitting your consultation response.
Officers are also working with the Grove Park Group to arrange for large copies of the plans to be available to view in the window of Cafe Grove (7 Grove Park Road). Please note that this does not replace the consultation sessions, which are not going ahead, but does provide an opportunity to drop by and see the plan in greater detail.
Initial feedback to the consultation has been positive, with over 70 responses received so far. As a reminder the deadline for comments is the 31 March.

The local Grove Park Group have been leading on the project over a number of years, in partnership with the council, and we are now seeking feedback on detailed proposals. A copy of the plan will be sent out to residents and businesses locally and should be hitting doorsteps early next week. The consultation runs through to the 31 March and will include two drop in events for anyone who would like to stop by and discuss the proposals in more detail. Please see the consultation website for more information:

As mentioned in the last news update, the council is also now separately consulting on providing step free access under Kew Bridge, a hugely beneficial local pedestrian scheme. More information can be found via the link below.

Let’s Keep Hounslow Safe, Together
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Keep Hounslow Safe Together so far!
I’m pleased to report that over 500 people have visited the webpage in the first few weeks. We’ve 81 people contribute to the page and we want lots more people to have their say on crime and community safety in Hounslow.
It would be really great if you could spread the word to your family, friends and neighbours... and encourage them to get involved! You can also share details of the project through email, WhatsApp, Facebook or Twitter – all the links are on the project homepage.
So far the Community Safety Team has been to 15 community meetings across the borough, capturing people’s views from Bedfont to Chiswick. We have more meetings coming up in the next few weeks, click here to find out when we will be in your area .
Finally, a few people have asked whether this is our consultation on the Community Safety Strategy. We're using Commonplace and the community meetings as engagement to find out what you would like us to focus on.. The feedback you give us will be used to inform our draft Community Safety Strategy 2020-2023. The draft strategy will then go out to consultation later in the year before being finalised.
Have great day and don't forget to share the Commonplace link with people you know!
