Planning meeting

Off to the Brompton Hospital physiotherapy dept. with my eldest son. All very friendly and helpful. Really shows that caring staff make the difference.

Planning Committee for Kensington & Chelsea this evening – As a local Councillor, helping my local residents object strongly to the building of “Tesco Tower” on Warwick Road in West London.
The proposed development is viewed as too high and too high density, with nowhere to push a pram or go to a park. We need houses and flats particularly affordable ones, but not in tall towers with no community space.

The Council rejects the scheme and there is much celebration, although Tesco’s and Multiplex are likely to appeal – why can’t we just have a Tesco’s Extra which would benefit the area, increase the shopping choice, better to have local shops, then people will not have to travel.

I am sure other shops would cheer up this bleak corridor in Warwick Road if Tescos were to expand.
