Windmill Road W5 Development
Although the planning application has been slid through the back door at Hounslow Council, this will affect Ealing residents.It is for several Hi-Rise apartments for 1000 peopleThis is yet another Croydon like development that is rapidly scarring and damaging the local environs, quality of life and not bringing any residential benefit locally.This development however, will probably affect residents of South Ealing and Old Brentford which of course, lay in two boroughs.Currently there are 2 major developments in process within a third of a mile. One of which is only half completed and has already caused parking and service problems radiating over a third of a mileWhen finished the population will rise artificially by several thousand pushing the local population way beyond the infrastructure to service the local populus.Roads, schools, health services buses and energy & water services are already overstretched with no provision to provide permanent resolutions. In fact, it is largely not possible without penalising the existing residential populationTo top it all, this will result in another huge loss of small industry facilities which has in the last few years forced many businesses to leave the district and reduce significantly opportunities for local employment and rendering it almost impossible for the possibility of small businesses to start and develop.Once again, Greed is the prime mover here and it is a pure myth that this is to help those who need a home in the district. As we all know, those genuine locals will still not be able to afford to move in and like most other developments, 90% will be in the hands of buy to let and multiple landlords.As the application went in on the quiet, objections need to be made by 4th of July toHounslows planning dept>Nikolas.Smith@hounslow.gov.uk Plans can be seen at Brentford Library if it's ever open!
