Matters Arising
Submitted petitions:
Members were informed that a petition in relation to Queens Road had been submitted,

a consultation area.
It was agreed that the petition in relation to Shaftesbury Avenue (Agenda Item 9) would be
deferred to the March 2015 meeting to allow the petitioners to attend the meeting and request
to speak.

50.

Open Forum - 10 mins

Members heard from a member of public that a petition had been started a year ago in respect
of prohibiting the feeding of pigeons in public spaces. Members requested an update as a
matter of urgency and that Councillor Foote as the Lead Member for Community Protection be
notified.
A question was raised in relation to the bus stop on Sunbury Way near the roundabout, which
a number of local residents had requested. Christopher Deakins indicated that officers had
been looking into this matter and would discuss designs and plans with local Councillors
before consulting with residents.
A question was raised in respect of wheelie bins for the area and the timescales for their roll
out to residents. Councillor Gupta stated that the roll out continued across the Borough. It was
anticipated that all residents would have a wheelie bin by the end of 2015. Members
requested a schedule for the roll out to be brought to a future meeting of the Area Forum.
An update was requested on the Feltham Community Centre building, which was now derelict
and awaiting redevelopment. The Chair also requested that an updated Heritage list of
distinctive and listed buildings within the Bedfont, Feltham and Hanworth area be brought to a
future meeting of the forum.
Mrs Button, a local resident, raised concerns about the A314 cycle improvements plans. She
advised that she had been refused permission to install a crossover/dropped kerb to create off
street parking outside her home and business. She expressed concerns that she would have
nowhere to park once the cycle route was introduced as a double yellow line would be
installed. She also expressed concern that customers visiting her florist shop would be unable
to park anywhere. She emphasised the negative impact that the loss of parking would have on
her business. Mr Sharland advised that there had been some irregularity in relation to the
allocation of crossovers. He advised that before the design phase of the scheme was
completed, any previously submitted crossover applications for the affected area would be
revisited. Mr Sharland advised that he would happily meet with Mrs Button to look into the
issue of parking and assess the impact of the double yellow lines on her business.

51.

Local Police Update - Sgt Nigel Treacy

In the absence of a police officer, Members noted the submitted report and made the following
comments:

Members expressed concern about Police response times following residential burglaries.
Members requested dates, times and locations of ward panels.
The Chair gave details of the mechanisms for reporting rough sleepers around the Town
Centre. She advised that residents could call the 111 police telephone number to report
any rough sleepers. She emphasised the importance of calling the police and reminded
that often rough sleepers had mental health issues and were very vulnerable people.
Members expressed concern about anti-social behaviour reports on Hanworth Park ward,
in particular with motorbike noise around the cemetery late at night.
Members also requested further information on reports penultimate paragraph, specifically
the reference to working closely with a local business whose 21 properties generate
approximately 10% of all crime committed on the ward.

52.

Verbal update on Feltham Town Centre

Christopher Deakins, Capital Projects and Network Management, and Esther Worboys,
Hounslow and Feltham Town Centre Manager, provided members with an update on the
proposals for the Feltham Town Centre regeneration.
Mr Deakins advised that a bid had been submitted to TFL for a multi-million pound scheme to
carry out improvements around Feltham Train Station. The bid had been successful in the
initial stages and funding had been released to move forward to the second stage. He advised
that the Council was working closely with Network Rail who had also provided some funding.
Network Rail had proposed to close the level crossing for safety reasons and also suggested
that the platforms be lengthened to accommodate longer trains. He advised that there would
be longer trains travelling through the station from 2017.
Mr Deakins gave details of plans to close the level crossing and the anticipated impact on
traffic flows and on pedestrians using the area. He advised that the closure of the level
crossing would be likely to result in excessive queues on New Road, particularly during
morning peak hours. An option to install traffic signal lights on New Road to reduce congestion
was being considered. The traffic lights would enable vehicles to exit New Road onto
Hounslow Road. Options to widen the surrounding roads were also being considered.
The closure of the level crossing would require a review of bus routes, railings and access to
the station. There would need to be shared use of the foot and cycle bridge over the railway.
In response to questions, Mr Deakins advised that if the bus stop was re-routed there would
be scope to install a pick-up drop off point outside the station.
The second stage of the scheme would look into High Street Traffic Improvements. Mr
Deakins advised that the timeframe for the project was very tight and that the consultation on
the design phase would take place in June/July 2015. Mr Deakins stated that the aims of the
project were to facilitate the closure of the level crossing, improved pedestrian facilities,
improve cycle facilities and improved journey times.
Mr Deakins stated it would be helpful for a representative from Network Rail to give detailed
information about the scheme at a future Area Forum meeting.

The Chair thanked Mr Deakins for a very detailed presentation.

The Forum welcomed Esther Worboys, Town Centre Manager (Hounslow, Feltham &
surrounding areas). Ms Worboys advised that she had been in post since July 2014 and that
her role was to act as a link between the Council and local businesses.
She advised that the Councils corporate plan contained a commitment to develop the master
plan for Feltham. The Council had commissioned consultants to look into issues and
improvements for the Area. She advised that an initial consultation had been carried out with
residents and businesses. There would also be a second stakeholder event taking place on 12
February 2015 and a public exhibition from 13 February 2015 in Feltham library displaying the
plans.
Ms Worboys advised that a bid had been submitted to the Mayor of London for funding to
rebrand Feltham in a positive way. There were also plans to develop a Town Team model and
also to create a local business directory.
Councillor Mitchell advised that a public regeneration meeting had taken place in October
2014. He advised that the Area Forum wanted to develop a strong sense of identity for
Bedfont, Feltham and Hanworth. He advised that there were lots of areas for improvement
including making Feltham High Street look nice, planting more trees, regenerating Feltham
ponds, the regeneration of St Catherines House and Feltham community centre.
The Chair thanked Ms Worboys for the information provided and urged members of the public
to view the display at Feltham Library from Friday 13th February 2015. She advised that the
presentation would be displayed for two weeks and that all of the information would also be
available on the Councils website.

53.

Civic Pride
In light of the forthcoming 50th Anniversary of the formation of the London Borough of
Hounslow Kate Tomkinson, Area Participation Officer, asked members and local residents to
email her if they had any old photos or historical documents they could lend to the Council as
part of the celebrations.
It was announced that International Womens Day would be celebrated on Saturday, 7 March
at the Civic Centre for women and girls over the age of 13 years.

54.

A314 Hounslow Road Cycle Improvements

See report by Tom Sharland, Transport Projects Officer (Agenda item 7).
Mr Sharland presented a report detailing the results of the consultation for two design options
for the upgrading of existing cycle facilities along the A314 Hounslow Road in Hanworth.
9.25pm: Suspension of Standing Orders: Councillor Gupta moved suspension of standing
orders for 30 minutes. This was seconded by Councillor Anderson.
9.25pm Councillor David Hughes left the meeting.
Members expressed concerns about the following point:

o
o
o
o

The option to remove the traffic lights was considered to be dangerous.

Members felt it was important to install no left turn signs.
It was felt that the cycle lane on the road was too narrow and dangerous.
It was felt that double yellow lines at the beginning of each corner would stop vehicles
parking and increase visibility and safety.

Further to the comments and suggestions made, Mr Sharland advised that there would be a
reduction in the number of lanes to one lane so that there was not a motorway appearance.
He agreed it was important to stop parking on the corners of the roads to ensure safety and
visibility.
The Chair felt that often weight limits on roads were ignored and suggested that cameras
could be installed to help enforce the weight restrictions.
Resolved:
That the Area Forum approved:

55.

1.1

The development of detailed designs for Option B, based on the outline design work
already undertaken and the results of the consultation process, to allow the scheme to
be developed in the necessary detail for construction;

1.2

That Officers be authorised, where possible, to resolve any objections received to the
statutory consultation and implement the scheme and, in the event of any objections
remaining unresolved, agreed that the Chair of the Forum be given delegated authority
to determine these objections in consultation with the Ward Councillors.

1.3

That, following the resolution of the above, council officers should progress with the
final costing and commissioning of the scheme, and implement the scheme in
accordance with the agree detailed designs.

1.4

That officers be authorised to explore the opportunity to re-classify Hounslow Road as a

B road between the junctions with the A316 and A312.

Tilley Road Area Proposed CPZ - consultation results

See report by Amarpal Soor, Senior Traffic Engineer Parking & Developments (Agenda item
8).

The Chair invited Ms Sally Dickenson, Lead Petitioner, to address the Area Forum. Ms
Dickenson advised that she had submitted a petition to the Council approximately a year ago
as parking in Tilley Road had become horrendous. She explained that she was a resident in
Tilley Road and since Asda had opened and the flats/apartments had been rented out
residents of Tilley Road had no longer been able to park their cars in their own road.
Tilley Road was often full of parked vehicles belonging to Asda employees, shoppers wanting
to avoid a parking fee in the main car park, health centre workers from the nearby health
centre, commuters parking on Tilley Road and using Feltham Train Station, residents and
visitors from the flats and even holiday makers parking their cars and catching a train to
Heathrow. Ms Dickenson advised that the parking problems had been continuing seven days
a week. Residents living in Tilley Road were often getting tickets from Traffic Wardens and the
result was that residents were beginning to fight with each other. She emphasised that young

families with children and disabled residents were not able to park near their homes and that
there were serious safety issues. She emphasised a need for a controlled parking zone (CPZ)
in Tilley Road as a matter of urgency.
Mr Soor presented the report and presented the results of the proposed CPZ preliminary
consultation carried out with the residents of the Tilley Road area. He advised that a total of 91
responses were received with the majority in favour of a CPZ in Tilley Road. Mr Soor advised
that residents living in Hounslow Homes Housing and on private land in roads such as Hazel
Grove, Lemon Grove and Plum Close would be consulted directly by Hounslow Homes.
Resolved:
Members considered the results of the consultation and agreed that:
(a) Officers should advance the Controlled Parking Zone proposals to the detailed design
consultation stage for those frontages on the adopted public highway, namely Hawthorne
Road, Highfield Road, Orchard Road, Peach Road, Railway Terrace and Tilley Road.
(b) Officers should report the outcome of the detailed design consultation stage to a future
meeting of this Area Forum;
(c) No further consultation should be undertaken with those residents in the private roads,
namely Almond Close, Hazel Grove, Lemon Grove, Plum Close, due to on-going parking
control measures being considered by Hounslow Housing (Hounslow Homes); and that

(d) Officers should notify all residents in the preliminary consultation area of the outcome of
the consultation and of this Forums decision.
(e) That a report should come back to the next meeting of this Area Forum.

56.

Shaftesbury Avenue 'area', Feltham - Objections to Traffic Management Order (TMO)

This matter was deferred to the March meeting of the Area Forum to allow time for Officers to
notify the petitioners so that they can attend the meeting and request to speak.

57.

Small Grant Applications

See report by Preeti Virk, Third Sector Partnerships Manager (Agenda item 10).
Kate Tomkinson, Area Participation Officer presented the report on Area Forum small grants.
She reminded the Forum and members of the public to push groups to apply for grant funding
as the deadline for applications was 28 January 2015.
Resolved
Members agreed to award 500 of small grant funding to the Feltham Asian Womens Group.

58.

Any other business

There was no other urgent business.

59.

Date of next meeting is 12 March 2015

The date of the forthcoming meeting on 12 March 2015 was noted.

The meeting finished at 9:55 pm.

Agenda Item 3
At a meeting of the Bedfont, Feltham, Hanworth Area Forum held on Thursday, 12 March

Present:
Councillor Elizabeth Hughes (Chair)
Councillor Hanif Khan (Vice-Chair)
Councillors Keith Anderson, Candice Atterton, John Chatt, Samia Chaudhary, Richard Foote,
BB Gurung, Tina Howe, David Hughes, Khulique Malik, Hina Mir and Alan Mitchell

Declarations of Interest and Any Other Communications from Members

Councillors David Hughes and Elizabeth Hughes declared that they knew the applicant for the
A Chance of Hope small grant application and would leave the room for the discussion on
that item.

61.

Decisions from the meeting held on 22 January 2015 and Matters Arising
It was noted that the clerk had been away on leave on absence so there was not a full minute
available and the decisions from the meeting held on 22 January 2015 (agenda item 2) were
agreed, with an amendment to include Councillor Maliks apologies for absence.
Matters Arising:
a) Councillor Foote referred to the petition against feeding pigeons and advised that local
legislation had now been enacted, which meant that a penalty charge would be issued
for the casting of food on the ground and in ponds and rivers. Warnings would be
issued to start with. The RSPB had said that feeding bread to ducks could be harmful to
the ducks and would create bacteria in ponds. Part of the problem with foxes was
where blocks of flats had food mixed in with general rubbish. Wheelie bins for food
waste had been delivered two weeks ago and Councillor Foote hoped that it would help
to deal with the problems with animals over time (item 50, page 2 refers).
b) Kate Tomkinson, Area Participation Officer, gave an update on Feltham Community
Centre. She advised that officers from planning enforcement had visited the site and
recorded the issues. They were considering the options and would be producing a
report. If anyone saw people entering the site, Ms Tomkinson asked that they report it
to the enforcement team (item 50, page 2 refers).

62.

Open Forum - 10 mins

Mr Moore from Tudor Estate Residents Association advised that there were still on-going
issues in connection with the briefing note presented by Satnam Sahota to the November
meeting, which was due to be amended and updated. He highlighted the comment in the note

about the accident in Castle Way, which had not resulted in personal injury and was,
therefore, not a priority for the Councils 20 mph programme. He advised that there was still a
witness appeal sign in Fernside Avenue, which he felt indicated that it was more important
than the report had suggested.
Mr Moore also commented that the report stated that the length of the one-way stretch in
Raleigh Way was 60m, whereas it was only 30m and he could not understand why one sign
for the one-way or no entry end of Raleigh Way would cost 1k to illuminate.
Resolved:
That a response to the points raised by Mr Moore would be emailed to him, with
Members copied in.
63.

Local Police Update - PC Beth Todd

See Police Update Report (agenda item 4)
Sgt. Beth Todd advised that, over the last 12 months there had been a decrease in all crime
except for violence, which was mostly related to domestic violence. She went on to highlight
the main issues for each ward.
In Feltham North, burglary had increased at the end of last year and one individual was now in
prison. There had also been arrests for drugs offences and notices had been issued for antisocial behaviour to youths riding mopeds in Burns Avenue. They had been trying to boost NW
(Neighbourhood Watch).
Dispersal zones had been introduced into Hanworth, where youths had been causing
problems. A closure notice had been issued to one person on the Oriel Estate and drugs
warrants issued. There had been a drop in burglaries.
Burglaries had also dropped in Hanworth Park. Drugs were a priority and warrants had been
issued. There was anti-social behaviour around the Londis supermarket and the betting shop
from youths, but it had decreased as the result of more patrols.
Prevention measures taken in Feltham West and burglaries were down. There had been antisocial behaviour problems with youths gathering around McDonalds and the shopping centre.
Dispersal zones had been put in and more drugs warrants had been issued.
In Bedfont the police had been cocooning the day after a burglary had happened, which
involved knocking on doors locally to reassure residents and to pick up any information from
witnesses. Signs had been put up in Bedfont High Street, warning that anti-social behaviour
would not be tolerated.
Councillor Khulique Malik asked for an update about the number of NW groups there were in
Feltham North and what was being done to boost numbers. Concerns had been raised over
drugs rings and the lack of police presence.
In response to questions, Sgt. Todd advised that she could not give the exact number of NW
groups, but there were approximately 13 in Bedfont. All wards now had a PCSO and she
hoped to see numbers go up. She understood the concerns about the lack of a police
presence, but advised that it was now being addressed. Calls were now going through to the
Emergency Response Teams, which meant that 2-3 officers were being freed up to go on
patrol.

Councillor Malik asked that numbers of NW be provided to the next meeting and advice on
what Members could do to boost numbers. The Chair suggested a map showing where NW
was located, which Sgt. Todd agreed to provide.
With regard to abstractions, Sgt. Todd advised that a number of officers had been sent up
town for counter terrorism patrols and that abstractions would be minimal. There were no cars,
but officers would cycle or walk on patrols. The sergeant vacancy for Feltham West would be
filled in the next few weeks and Sgt. Todd agreed to provide Councillor Mitchell with an update
as soon as possible.
In response to further questions, Sgt. Todd advised that she knew that there had been
vagrants sleeping rough. They had been offered support, but had declined. The Chair
commented that one of the cases was being dealt with as case work and had been very
complicated.
The Chair asked for figures on domestic violence to assist in monitoring. She advised that the
more information and reports they received, the more likely it was that they could access
funding from Central Government. Sgt. Todd agreed that she would provide more information.
Resolved:
a) That the number of Neighbourhood Watch Groups and a map showing their locations
be provided to the next meeting.
b) That Sgt. Todd would keep Councillor Mitchell informed as to progress in filling the
sergeant vacancy in Feltham West ward.
c) That more information in relation to domestic violence, including figures, would be
provided to the next meeting.
(Councillor Chatt joined the meeting at this point).
64.

Civic Pride
a) Feltham Regeneration Update
Mathieu Proctor, Principal Urban Design Officer, made a presentation about Feltham
Regeneration. He advised that some analysis of Feltham had been undertaken and two
stakeholder engagement events had been held. Mr Proctor emphasised that no decisions had
been made and residents could still email him with their views. There had been approximately
200 responses so far and a report would be produced in the summer, where there would be
another chance for residents to talk about the Masterplan. He advised that it was the
beginning of a long planning process, which would last over the next two years. It was
anticipated that a plan would be submitted in late 2016 and adopted in 2017.
Mr Proctor advised that the aim was for planning officers to help create a vision for Feltham,
rather than having individual developers building separate projects. The vision would include
attractive open spaces and Feltham Arenas would be looked at in detail. He felt that it was a
great opportunity to look at open space, including Hanworth Park and Feltham Green.
The Feltham Concept Masterplan had been produced just to show what was possible. The
basic idea with the Glebelands was to bring together the Glebelands, Blenheim Park and other
green spaces as one. There would be play activities, changing rooms and a caf. Buildings on
the edge of the park would provide overlooking and make the park safer. It may be possible
that new residents overlooking the park and the developers could pay towards the

10

maintenance of the park.

They would be looking to make more of the town centre and more people would be living
along the High Street. The southern fringe could be made more urban, with possibly higher
buildings and if the MOD site became available, it could be used to provide access or housing.
Mr Proctor advised that the presentation would be added to the agenda, so that it could be
viewed on-line. He asked residents to email him with any comments in connection with the
presentation he had shown.
The Chair advised there would be no consultation over purdah, which was the period of time
while the elections were going on, but she was aware that Feltham Arena Residents Group
had been attending meetings. She suggested that they contact Mr Proctor after the elections,
if they wanted to meet with the MP.
Councillor David Hughes advised that Members had decided that they wanted to bring
regeneration projects to Feltham, but the community needed to get involved so that they got
what local people were happy with. Councillor Mitchell added that the main message was for
the public to take ownership of the regeneration plans.
Councillor Foote commented that Longford River disappeared beneath concrete in Hanworth
Air Parc, which he felt needed to be removed so that the river could be seen. Around the
periphery of the park had been workshops for planes, which were now brownfield sites and he
felt that those could be developed as part of the regeneration.
Councillor Atterton asked residents to let Councillors know how to pass the message out wider
and advised that there was a radio station at Butts Farm, which could be used to help local
communication.
b) Controlled Parking Zone Update
Kate Tomkinson advised that there were a number of CPZ updates on the agenda and the
design consultation had now taken place regarding Tilley Road.
c) Community Engagement Funding
It had been agreed to allocate money for a Remembrance Day service. The Forum also
agreed to allocate funding towards an existing community event and towards events taking
place in connection with the Rugby World Cup.
It was noted that Kate Tomkinson would be getting in touch with London Irish Rugby Club and
the Chair suggested that she also get in touch with the All Blacks Club.
d) Heritage Update
It was noted that the Heritage Officer, Aretha George had been working with local groups and
would be providing a full update, including a potential heritage lottery grant, to the next
meeting.
The Forum felt that, although there may not be grade I listed buildings in the area, there were
still some important buildings and listed walls.
The Chair advised that she had started photographing buildings in Feltham West ward and
around Feltham Village. She encouraged Members to do the same and to send any photos to
her so that she could put them together into a document.

Shaftesbury Avenue, Feltham - Objections to Traffic Management Order

See report by Andrew Nye, Parking & Developments Officer (agenda item 6)
Amarpal Soor, Traffic Engineer, highlighted the main points in the report. He advised that the
recommendation was to make an order to formalise footway parking. A traffic management
order had advertised the proposals and the appendix showed objections and responses.
In response to questions from Members, Mr Soor advised that there would be measures to
protect against parking on junctions, corners and across driveways, which would result in the
loss of 24 parking spaces on each side of the road.
Councillor Chatt recalled that it had been pursued by a previous Councillor at a time when lots
of people had wanted it with not many objectors. There was information about those for and
against when the scheme started. He asked for the reasons why it had changed, in terms of
material considerations.
In response to questions, Mr Soor advised that they had carried out surveys and gone out to
consultation in late 2013. The results, which had indicated support for the introduction of a
footway parking scheme, had been brought back to the Area Forum on 14 November 2013.
Councillor Chatt advised that he did not recall any consultation with Councillors, but he had
visited houses. He felt that there had been no objections to pavement parking, but Mr Soor
advised that parking restrictions and footway parking had to go in as one or it would be difficult
to enforce.
Councillor David Hughes move deferral to allow for further consultation with Members.
Councillor Foote advised that he knew of footway parking plans in Hanworth, but noted that
ward Councillors were not consulted. He raised concerns that consultation had not been
carried out in other areas too.
Mr Soor drew Members attention to the briefing and advised that consultation on the current
proposal had taken place with Councillors under the previous Administration and the scheme
had been pending because of objections to the double yellow lines.
Councillor Anderson seconded the motion for deferral and commented that he felt that
procedures should be tightened up. The Forum agreed that the item should be deferred.
The Chair advised that she would like to see the protocol, in terms of consultation of the public
and Councillors and suggested that Members visit the site during deferral of the item.
Resolved:
a) That proposals for a footway parking scheme in Shaftesbury Avenue, Feltham, be
deferred to allow for consultation with Councillors and residents to take place. The
Chair asked that the officer contact the three ward Councillors and the member of
public present at the meeting, to arrange a walk about.
b) That the officer would email the previous report and provide an overview of the
process for Councillors.
c) That the protocol for consultation, in particular with regard to the public and

12

Councillors, be provided to Members.

Kings Road Area, Feltham - Proposed Controlled Parking Zone

See report by Amarpal Soor, Traffic Engineer (agenda item 7)
Amarpal Soor presented the report and advised that it contained the results of a preliminary
consultation for a CPZ in the Kings Road area. It was being recommended that the process
advance to a detailed design consultation, including residents in the surrounding roads and
the other side of Hanworth Road.
In response to questions from Members, Mr Soor advised that the cost was 67.50 p.a. for
one car and that the information about the pros and cons was provided during the
consultation, including the prices for different types of permits.
Councillor Khan felt that, if the reason for the CPZ was commuters, the timings did not seem
to meet that criteria. The vehicle number plates of residents were monitored in the second part
of the consultation. He asked, if there were not many cars, was that communicated.
Mr Soor advised that a survey was done on number plates, but it had not yet been analysed.
The timings were based on what people said and officers could give guidance on that. He
agreed to email ward Councillors when the analysis had been done.
The Forum agreed the recommendations in the report.
Resolved:
a) That officers advance the CPZ proposals to the detailed design stage for those
roads that have shown support, namely Cromwell Road, Kings Road and Queens
Road.
b) That residents of the roads listed under item 5.2 in the report be notified of the
proposed detailed design consultation in the surrounding area and be included in
that consultation.
c) That officers report the results of both consultations to a future meeting of the
Forum.
d) That an analysis of the number plate survey be emailed to ward Councillors, once it
has been completed.

67.

Page Road and New Road - Results of CPZ Consultation

See report by Carl McMahon, Assistant Traffic Engineer (agenda item 8)
Carl McMahon, Traffic Engineer, presented the report and advised that, in the absence of a
clear level of support, the recommendation being made was to not progress with a CPZ.
Councillor Howe advised that the request had been made by residents because of a
development at the end of the road, where they had to pay for parking and residents from that
development were parking on Page Road.
Mr McMahon advised that he had spoken to a Housing Association officer from the
development, who had advised that parking permits were approximately 30 but that residents

13

were only entitled to one permit per household and the overspill was parking on Page Road.
There were commercial vehicles parking there, but they belonged to people on the estate.
The Chair suggested that the Forum agree the recommendations, unless the issue came up
again, which the Forum agreed.
Resolved:
a) That the proposed Controlled Parking Zone is not progressed because the informal
consultation results show insufficient support for the proposal.
b) That residents of Page Road and New Road be notified of the Forums decision.
68.

Proposal to consult on a boroughwide 20mph speed limit

See Briefing Note (agenda item 9)
Ayeesha Butt, Transport Planner, asked Members and residents to send their views about the
proposals for 20 mph zones within the Borough to the transport planning email address.
Councillor Foote commented that the biggest problem would be that the area was on the
border of Hounslow and Richmond and Richmond did not apply a 20 mph speed limit. He felt
that cars would, therefore, still be going fast crossing into the Borough and that notices were
needed.
The Chair asked officers to provide maps to Members and Ms Butt advised that she would
come back to the Forum meeting in the summer to discuss the responses received.

69.

Proposal Formalisation of Footway Parking

See Briefing Note by Andrew Nye, Assistant Traffic Engineer (agenda item 10)
Amarpal Soor presented that report and advised that there were five footway parking schemes
to be implemented.
Councillor Foote felt that the information was incomplete and that there were other roads, in
particular Riverdale Road and St Johns Road, which had not been included. Councillor Howe
also asked if Wigley Road could be part of the scheme.
Mr Soor advised that he would check about the roads and get back to Councillor Foote and if
they could tie in Wigley Road, they would. They were looking to implement the schemes in
September 2015 and he advised that he would contact ward Councillors and the Chair if any
objections were received
Resolved:
a) That the contents of the report be noted.
b) That delegated authority to the Chair to determine any unresolved objections
received in the formal (statutory) consultation, as shown under item 2.5 in the report,
in conjunction with ward Councillors, be approved.
c) That authority for officers to proceed with the formalisation of footway parking in the
Ellington Road area, despite the unresolved stage 3 complaint, be approved.

14

d) That officers look into the inclusion of other roads raised previously by the Forum,
including Riverdale Road and St Johns Road and the possibility of including Wigley
Road, if it could be tied in with the scheme.

Small Grant applications - Kate Tomkinson

See report by Preeti Virk, Third Sector Partnerships Manager (agenda item 11)
Councillors David and Elizabeth Hughes had declared an interest and left the room during the
discussion on this item. Councillor Khan chaired the meeting in the absence of Councillor
Elizabeth Hughes.
Kate Tomkinson highlighted the main points in the report.
Resolved:
a) That a small grant of 440 be awarded to A Chance for Hope Community Interest
Company to fund the cost of a project to introduce local residents to playing a musical
instrument.
b) That a small grant of 500 be awarded to Feltham Arts Association to hold a Cycling
Arts and Nature Trail as part of Feltham Arts Festival 2015.
c) That community engagement funding of 2 x 500 allocations be allocated to a
Remembrance Sunday parade and a community event to engage residents in their
local area.

71.

Petition - Cambria Court, Feltham

See Briefing Note by Satnam Sahota, Developments & Parking Team Leader (agenda item
12a)
Amarpal Soor presented the report. Members asked about ownership of the garages and Mr
Soor advised that he would try to find out.
Resolved:
That Members note the petition received and agree that officers carry out a preliminary
consultation with residents over a possible CPZ for Cambria Court and beyond.

72.

Mill Way, Bedfont

See Briefing Note by Satnam Sahota, Developments & Parking Team Leader (agenda item
12b)

Resolved:
a) That officers carry out a preliminary consultation with residents of Mill Way on
possible changes to the operational times of their CPZ and that the results be
reported to a future meeting of the Forum.
b) Members felt that the costs should be emphasised to residents during the

15

consultation and suggested that the costs be put in a letter, rather than the
appendix.
c) Kate Tomkinson, the APO, advised that reports in response to petitions for Spinney
Drive and Beech Road would be brought back to the Forum in May.
73.

Burglary, ASB and Drugs continue to be ward priorities.
Burglary
There were 8 reported burglaries in Bedfont in April 2015. 5 of these were non-dwelling
burglaries and most of those were shed burglaries. PCSO Barnes holds a crime
prevention stall once every 5 weeks outside Greggs.
Cocooning is our main role in burglary prevention. Several of our well known criminals
who frequent the Bedfont area have recently been sent to prison for a variety of offences
and this may have an impact on the number of crime reports relating to burglary.
Drugs
There have been reports of youths smoking cannabis behind Betfred on Staines Road
(Bedfont High Street). Patrols have been directed to the area and will continue to be
directed there whilst there are reports of this behavior.
ASB
The main area for ASB continues to be based around Bedfont High Street (Staines Road).
Again, patrolling in the area and engaging with shopkeepers and encouraging them to call
us if there are any problems. Signs have been placed on the high street advising that ASB
wont be tolerated.
Other Crime
Several males who are responsible for crime on the ward have been imprisoned in recent
weeks for a variety of offences (shoplifting and theft from motor vehicles). A female is
due to appear in court in June after breaching a Community Protection Notice.

Your Safer Neighbourhoods Team Priorities
The team priorities have remained the same burglary, theft from motor vehicle
and drugs.
The ward has continued to make great headway in increasing our
Neighbourhood Watch and have the largest coverage on the Sector, with 40 plus
roads covered.
Burglary - We have completed High visibility mobile patrols and on foot in
identified hotspot areas and warning leaflets are being delivered offering Crime
Prevention advice. Cocooning visits are conducted after every burglary whether
dwelling or non dwelling. Cocooning is where the venue of the burglary is visited
and given comprehensive crime prevention advice and reassurance along with
the five properties either side of the venue and the five addresses behind if it
backs onto other premises. This can be time consuming if there are a spate of
burglaries, we also have to cover others wards if they are not on duty.
We now have 53 roads covered by Neighbourhood Watch, which is increasing
year on year and is far more than any other Feltham ward.. Over the last four
months there have been 20 burglaries on the ward, which is less than the same
period last year. We have identified the top roads on our ward for burglaries and
are doing a lot of HVP as well as knocking on every door and issuing CPO
advice as well as trying to increase the number of NHW in the area. This it is
hoped will see a drop in the amount of burglaries in these known hot spots.
Since October last year there has been a 46% reduction in burglary on the
ward, which is great news and burglary is down in the majority of wards in
Feltham.
Drugs - We as a Sector and as a ward continue to execute warrants in Feltham
and have numerous in the pipeline to be dealt with. A few weeks ago we
executed a warrant where we seized over 50 wraps of Class A drugs and

18

arrested two suspects. We received intel several weeks ago about a possible
drug dealing taking place, we conducted plain clothes patrols the following day
and made an arrest for possession of drugs, the suspect was charged.
Theft from motor vehicle - Reports of theft from motor vehicles after having
dropped significantly in January is now starting to rise and the whole of Feltham
has seen a sudden increase in the last month or so. A large number of these we
believe are being carried out by the same few suspects, the main suspect having
been arrested for numerous offences only a couple of days ago and being
remanded in custody. There are no current hot spots as these crimes are
happening randomly across the ward although Feltham Airparcs continue to
feature as venues of these crimes. Warning posters have been placed at each of
these locations. There have also been a couple of incidences of theft of number
plates; these plates are then displayed on vehicles used in crime such as
burglary and theft of petrol. There have been 24 reports of theft from motor
vehicle since January as opposed to 22 reports for the same period of the
previous year.
ASB - The focus for ASB at the moment on the ward is McDonalds, High Street,
Feltham where groups of youths have been gathering and causing a nuisance to
customers and staff. We have been visiting the premises each and every shift,
working with staff to alleviate the problem, and identify all the youths concerned.
Some of the youths identified have had a visit to their home addresses re the
issues and their parents spoken to. In recent weeks there have been far fewer
complaints in relation to ASB.

Feltham North Local Policing Team Priorities

The team priorities have remained the same and are burglary, drugs and antisocial behaviour. The team patrol the ward on a daily basis to prevent these
offences and apprehend offenders.

Burglary
Burglary continues to be a ward priority and there has been decrease in the
number of reported burglaries over the past three months with 15 burglaries
being reported over the past three months as compared to 20 burglaries during
the same period in 2014.
The LPT are actively trying to promote further Neighbourhood Watch schemes
across the ward. New Neighbourhood Watch Schemes have recently been set
up in Cassiobury Avenue, Sparrow Farm Drive and Clymping Dene.
Drugs
The number of drugs offences detected on the ward has decreased slightly over
the past 3 months with 18 offences being detected in the past three months as
compared to 9 offences in the same period in 2014.
The LPT have assisted in the eviction of residents from an address where a large
amount of cannabis was previously recovered by Feltham North Officers and
have Misuse of Drugs Act Warrant
ASB
Feltham North Officers have continued to focus on reducing anti-social moped
and motor biking riding on the ward after receiving complaints from local
residents. Residents in and around Burns Avenue have reported a big decrease

24

in the instances of anti social moped riding occurring there as a result of the
recent action in the area by Feltham North LPT and the moped seizures and S59
Police Reform Act 2002 warnings issued.
Many of the ASB calls on the ward are either youth or neighbour related and the
team are currently dealing with 3 ongoing neighbour disputes at this time. The
team are working in partnership with Hounslow Housing and a Housing
Association to take action against these three perpetrators of ASB from their
social housing properties.
Over the past three months the team have obtained one Closure Order for a
property where disorder and nuisance was occurring and implemented one
dispersal zone in and around Pentelow Gardens to address youths congregating
around the location.
The team currently have three individuals referred to the FASBAG and
endeavour to provide reassurance to victims of ASB and act to address ASB
quickly and effectively.

Ward priorities remain the same - Burglary, Theft from M/V, ASB in general,
whilst the promises are - ASB Youths, Vagrants, Drugs and Alcohol misuse/disorder
Burglary
Since the start of March until 30th April the Ward has recorded 13 burglaries. This
consists of 7 non dwelling, 3 dwelling and 3 attempted Our team are assisting with
Burglary prevention across Feltham as visits are made to all victims and
neighbouring houses as part of the cocooning initiative
Theft From M/V
Theft from M/V offences total 14 between 1st March and 30th April. Some of these
were theft of number plates. Paul and Roy Smith were identified as being
responsible for most of the theft of personal property from vehicles and are both
now in Prison awaiting further arrest and charge for some of these. There has been
a noticeable reduction already across TF West since these arrests

26

ASB/ ASB Youths

At the start of this reporting period the majority of calls received on the ward relate
to youth ASB around McDonalds on Bedfont Lane and the High Street shopping
Centre
As many as thirty to forty youths have been congregating around the High Street
and this has caused problems for the team as our resource to deal with them has
been minimal to say the least due to repeated abstractions.
The team have been targeting this group as much as possible and now they seem to
have largely moved on. PC Westwood has been working with Councilor Christie
and Neighbourhood Community Safety Co-ordinator Jo Drew to make
environmental changes where these youths gather. This involves the repair of fences
and cleaning up items they use for comfort such as discarded furniture
The team also gave some attention to the youth motorbike problem and identified a
group from Jubilee Way who are particularly active at the moment. Five S59 notices
were issued and this group will be closely monitored with a view to seizures in the
near future
Vagrants
Reports of rough sleepers have been few and far between. There was one reported
in Belvedere House and another who has been in the bin sheds off the service road
behind the Day Nursery on the High Street. Neither of these two have been
identified yet by the team.
There has been another problem noted inside Berberis House where graffiti is
appearing on one particular floor. This is aimed at the Housing Provider and its
believed it may be an ex tenant still sleeping within the block but again this has yet
to be confirmed
Drugs/Alcohol misuse
The team have executed two drug related warrants in the past couple of months and
more are in the planning stage
Drug activity has been reported by residents living in Redford Close near Raleigh
Park and targeted patrols in there has confirmed that dealing/use is taking place.
Stops have been made but no drugs found yet. More activity has taken place around
Southern Avenue and the Team are working with the LBH policing team to resolve
this.
The finer weather through April brought out the drinkers and one de canning was
made near Feltham Pond but generally everyone has been behaving themselves

Agenda Item 6
FELTHAM GREEN / TOWN CENTRE
Boundary: See Map 6
Date of Designation: 08 November 1990
Date of alteration or extension: None
Additional protection to the area:
Special Architectural and/or Historic Interest
The conservation areas primary architectural and historic interest concentrates on what remains of the
early village of Feltham: primarily the green and the 19th century and 20th century properties that surround
it. It also focuses on the area around the station, the Longford River and around the tower of St
Catherines church, including some of the residential streets. The rest of the conservation area contains a
few houses of note dating from the 18th century as well as some 1960-70s redevelopment.
History
In the Domesday Book, Feltham is set down as belonging to Earl Mortaigne, in the reign of Henry II. In
1634 the manor house and nearly the whole village was destroyed by fire. In the 18th century it was a
small village and remained that way until the late 19th century with the land mostly laid out as market
gardens for supplying the London markets. The Windsor Staines and South Western Act submitted to
Parliament by the London and South Western Railway Company, provided for a railway line from the then
terminus at Richmond to Datchet. It received the Royal Assent on 25th June 1847, and opened in just
fourteen months on 22nd August 1848. This ensured much 19th century and 20th century expansion.
Character Appraisal
The village character is based on the church, the green and associated soft landscape and the properties
that provide the relevant scale and ambience.
The Church.
The tower remains of the former St Catherines Church (Grade II), which is younger than its style
deliberately suggests. The original church was 1880 (spire 1898) by Carpenter and Ingelow. It is in the
decorated style and is a two-stage tower with paired belfry openings and corner buttresses, with pinnacles
to comer turrets. The octagon and spire is a tall and prominent landmark. It is now incorporated into
offices by Bisco & Stanton, 1979-81 by a series of stepped-out projections that are quite carefully
handled. The church, the bridge over the Longford River, the bridge over the railway and station with
associated landscaping and village pond provides an attractive Victorian setting a gateway to Feltham.
Hanworth Road
Behind the church, between Hanworth Road and the Longford River, there are good mid-Victorian streets
and properties. The houses tend to be detached villas, mostly in brick with dressings, in their own
grounds. Public buildings include the former Magistrates Court, high schools using pretty polychrome
brickwork, with low gables, and a chapel. The ensemble provides insight into the Victorian expansion in
Feltham.
New Chapel Square
This is a compact group of flats by Manning Clamp & partners, 1976, in hot red brick, somewhat in the
Lillington Gardens (20th century, inner London) tradition of densely stepping form. It is well detailed, and
although slightly out of place (without village character), it is nevertheless a good example of its type of
20th century housing, four to five storeys in height around a square. The rear overlooks the Victoria Junior
School again quite carefully detailed in red brick but single storey. The Longford River nestles alongside
these later developments and has a somewhat rural and unkempt character.

29

The Green
The Pond, Green and nearby buildings are probably the most picturesque part of Feltham. The green is
lined to the east with small houses and gives this part of the conservation area its rural setting of the
village pond around which early 19th century houses snuggle. The pond with its trees has been carefully
landscaped with a War Memorial in the foreground. St Lawrence (RC) Church stands out within the group,
built of brick and in the Romanesque style. It was built in 1934 and designed by T H B Scott. The group of
houses overlooking the pond all date from the 1840s and have preserved all their original features. On
the corner the Red Lion Inn (Grade II), an 18 century village inn, overlooks the Green. Of two storeys in
brown brick with red window heads, it has a hipped old tile roof. The front facing the green has original
window sashes.
Feltham House and Manor House
Behind the Red Lion, approached from Elmwood Avenue, is another 18th century building, Feltham House
(Grade II). It was a fine house of the Villebois family. It is constructed of red brick, three-storey high and
red tiled roof. It can be seen from the road but is a reminder of the 18th century past of Feltham it has a
circular forecourt and grassed rear area. It now forms part of the army depot. It is in need of careful
restoration.
Manor House is a grand stucco painted house now used as a health centre. It is another reminder of the
former large houses of Feltham and provides an interesting landmark.
Elmwood Avenue
This road contains some interesting 19th and 20th century houses set in their own grounds and illustrate
more of the 19th century expansion of Feltham. These properties and the parade of shops on the High
Street are well landscaped with trees and hedgerows. The office at No. 51 High Street is an interesting
example of 20th century architecture in red brick and neatly turned inverted arches by Malcolm Hecks
Associates 1978.
Pressures on the area.
Feltham town centre is currently under considerable redevelopment for regeneration and
commercial reasons. This may lead on to new interest in peripheral development.
2 storey Victorian terraced housing immediately outside the area, further along the Longford River
north east of the church tower, is of diminutive scale which adds to the character of the
conservation areas setting. This is (attractive in its own right and) under pressure for development
of increased scale.
Potential to be further evaluated,
has largely been directed by the regeneration programme, may be further items pending from s106
agreements and work
To enhance the conservation area itself by respecting scale and boundaries during adjacent
redevelopment, and thus benefit from the character
Tree quality survey and additional tree-planting scheme
Guiding Principles
Concentrate on enhancing the boundaries, with a possibility of extension to the east, north of the
Longford river
Enhance the area around St Catherines Tower and around the green
Pay careful attention to side, rear and roof extensions around the Green & St Catherines Tower, to
maintain quality, skylines and sympathetic treatment
Enhance the area around and relationships with the station.

Feltham Town Centre Transport for London funded Major Scheme update
Bedfont, Feltham and Hanworth Area Forum
21 May 2015
Christopher Deakins, Team Leader Capital Projects and Network Management
Tel: 020 8583 4866

Briefing Note
1.

Recommendations
That Members:(a) note the progress being made on the Transport for London funded Major
Scheme for Feltham town centre and the outline programme for the year.

2.

Background

2.1 The purpose of this briefing note is to update Members on the Transport for London
funded Major Scheme for Feltham town centre.
2.2 As reported to the Area Forum in January, the Council has received funding from TfL
to develop proposals for Feltham Town Centre that:

facilitate the closure of the level crossing

improve pedestrian facilities
improve cycle facilities
benefit bus passengers
improve journey time reliability

2.3 At this stage the main proposals can be summarised as:

Reconfiguration of the existing New Road / Bedfont Lane priority junction and
inclusion of a zebra crossing.
Signalisation of New Road / Hounslow Road to provide sufficient capacity for
the traffic diverted from Bedfont Lane.
Provision of bus stops on Hounslow Road, between New Road and Hanworth
Road, to accommodate routes 285 & 490 and provide an interchange to the
station via new pedestrian ramps. These stops remove the need for the 285 &
490 to divert via the bus station on New Road as they currently do.
Widening of Hounslow Road southbound on approach to Hanworth Road
junction to provide a dedicated left turn lane.
Widening of the bridge over the Longford River to provide two northbound traffic
lanes on approach to Hanworth Road and cycle lanes in both directions.
Retention of the all-red pedestrian crossing at the Hounslow Road / Hanworth
Road junction (implementation due to commence on 22 May 2015).
Removal of the existing traffic signals at Bedfont Lane converting the junction to
a priority give-way junction.

35

 Provision of a new signalised pedestrian crossing across High Street adjacent

to Bedfont Lane.
Conversion of the existing zebra crossing on High Street adjacent to Victoria
Road to a signalised crossing to reduce the impact of high pedestrian volumes
on vehicle and bus journey times.
Simplification of the road layout along the high street with the inclusion of north
and southbound dedicated cycle lanes between the station and Browells Lane.
3.0 Traffic Modelling
3.1 Members will be aware that in order to assess the impact of the changes a significant
amount of traffic model work has had to be undertaken. At the time of the January
Area Forum traffic modelling had been completed for the four junctions at the
northern end of the town centre, around the railway station. Traffic modelling has now
been completed for the whole of the town centre and the key points and headline
results are reported below in paragraphs 3.3 to 3.8.
3.2 As TfL are responsible for the installation and maintenance of all traffic signals in
Greater London they also have to sign-off all associated traffic modelling work. The
base (existing situation) traffic model has been approved and at the time of writing
this briefing note the Council is awaiting the sign-off of the proposed traffic model.
3.3 In both the AM and PM peak periods the northbound and westbound (Hanworth
Road to Bedfont Lane) journey times deteriorate see Table 1. These delays are as
a result of introducing the signal controlled pedestrian crossings at both Browells
Lane and Hanworth Road junctions.
3.4 In both the AM and PM peak periods the southbound and eastbound (Bedfont Lane
to Hanworth Road) journey times improve see Table 1. These journey times
improvements are due to the conversion of the Victoria Road zebra crossing to traffic
signal controlled, not having to wait at the level crossing and due to the new traffic
signals at the New Road / Hounslow Road junction.
3.5 General traffic journey times will increase, with the majority of this additional delay
being caused by the addition of the signalised pedestrian crossing facilities at the
junctions of High Street with Browells Lane and with Hanworth Road. Given the level
of pedestrian activity at these locations and the existing safety issues for these
vulnerable road users it is deemed an acceptable impact.

3.6 The provision of new bus stops on Hounslow Road, between New Road and
Hanworth Road, for routes 285 & 490 would have a significant benefit on the journey
times for these two routes see Table 2. This more than mitigates for the additional
delays caused by the introduction of the signalised pedestrian crossing at the
Hanwoth Road junction.
3.7 For the other bus routes there is a mixed picture with routes gaining in one direction
and losing out in the other, or gaining in one peak period and losing in the other peak
period see Table 2. These journey time delays or gains are for the same reasons
as explained in 2.4 and 2.5 above.
3.8 Whilst some individual bus routes experience increases to their journey times, the
scheme overall provides benefits for this mode due to reduced travel distances for
routes 285 & 490 and because the coordinated signals and relocation of queues from
the zebra crossing to the junction stop-lines, make the existing bus lane provisions
more effective.

4.0 Design, Consultation and Business Case
4.1 In order for any further funding to be released by TfL the Council will need satisfy a
number of requirements, the keys ones being:
The design will be subject to TfLs Design Review in line with the principles set out
in Better Streets.
The submission of a Business Case in accordance with TfLs Business Case
Development Manual.

37

 An approved and costed design being accepted by all parties.

4.2 Work on developing the concept designs is currently underway and the first
milestone will be to discuss the emerging ideas at TfLs Design Review Panel on
Wednesday, 27 May. Following this review the designs will be developed further with
a view to reporting them at the 16 July meeting of this Area Forum.
4.3 Subject to approval being given in July the public consultation would be carried out
during August and September and will include a public exhibition event at which
Council officers will be on hand to answer any questions or provide further
explanation of the proposals. The results of the public consultation and the finalised
outline designs will be reported to the November Area Forum for approval.
4.4 Following the public consultation a business case will be finalised and submitted to
TfL for their consideration. It is hoped that funding will be confirmed prior to the end
of the calendar year.
5.0 Network Rail
5.1 Officers continue to liaise with Network Rail. Recent discussions have centred on
aligning design and construction programmes as well the designs for a new shared
use (pedestrian/cyclist) bridge over the railway line in the vicinity of the existing level
crossing. It is anticipated that Network Rails designs for this new structure will be
available by the July Area Forum and will be included in the public consultation.

Briefing Note
1.

Recommendations
That Members:(a) note that the petition has been received and the work currently underway to
improve the pedestrian crossings in the town centre;
(b) agree that the lead petitioner be informed of this.

2.

Details

2.1 A petition has been received from residents requesting safer pedestrian crossings in
Feltham Town Centre. The petition, which was signed by 239 people, reads:
Have you ever had to cross one of these roads where you don't really know if you
should stay or go as there are no traffic lights for pedestrians?
If it is tricky for an adult, how tricky and dangerous it must be for kids or older
people? Nearby these pedestrian crossings many points of interest like schools,
nurseries, supermarkets, pubs, train station and shopping center and residential
area are located. Many of us, our friends and relatives are rushing around every
day, trying not to get hit by a car, van or a lorry.
It is rare among the drivers to respect pedestrian priority on crossings if there are
no traffic lights and they usually use they horn or swear to show irritation. How
many accidents have to happen before situation will change? Do we really need to
wait for the fatality to happen?
Problem can be solved in a very simple way: installation of traffic lights for
pedestrians. We all know that it is better to be safe than sorry at the end of the
day.
You can find photos of pedestrian crossing showing the problem on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Safer-Pedestrians-inFeltham/1513001382252932?ref=hl
Just copy and paste link above in the browser address window.
2.2 The provision of controlled pedestrian crossing facilities at the A44 Hounslow Road
and Hanworth Road junction was approved by this Forum in April 2014. Since that
time officers have been working with Transport for London to have this improvement
delivered. The work to install controlled pedestrian crossings on three arms of this
junction will commence on Friday, 22 May 2015. This is an interim measure as

39

further improvements will be carried out as part of the Transport for London funded
major scheme see below.
2.3 As Members will be aware funding has been received from Transport for London to
progress the outline designs, public consultation and business case for an traffic and
public realm improvement scheme for Feltham town centre, with a focus on
facilitating the closure of the Bedfont Lane level crossing. As part of this scheme all
of the junctions are being reviewed from both a traffic flow and pedestrian safety
viewpoint.
2.4 The current concept proposals, which will be subject to a further report to this Forum,
include for the following pedestrian crossing improvements:
Bedfont Lane and New Road junction - provision of a zebra crossing.
New Road and Hounslow Road junction - existing zebra crossings replaced with
traffic signals with controlled pedestrian crossings across New Road and
Hounslow Road.
Hounslow Road and Hanworth Road junction widened footways and addition
of controlled pedestrian crossing on all four arms of the junction with the
addition of pedestrian countdown.
Bedfont Lane and High Street Bedfont Lane zebra crossing relocated onto
pedestrian desire line (closure of level crossing will see a significant reduction in
traffic using this road). New controlled pedestrian crossing across High Street.
High Street near Victoria Road - existing zebra crossings replaced with traffic
signals with controlled pedestrian crossings across High Street with the addition
of pedestrian countdown.
High Street, Highfield Road and Browells Lane - addition of controlled
pedestrian crossing on all four arms of the junction (impacts of this reported in
separate briefing note.
2.5 As Members can appreciate there is a significant work involved in delivering the
improvement scheme for Feltham and funding has to be staged over several financial
years. Therefore, it will be a number of years before all of the above improvements
are implemented on-street. The current programme is for the public consultation and
design work to be completed this financial year, with delivery commencing in 2016
and completion occurring during the 2019/20 financial year.

1. Briefing Note

1. The consultation undertaken in July / September 2014 with Ward Councillors and
community organisations on potential projects to be funded by s106 resulted in 126
projects being identified for approval for s106 funding, totalling 4,020,640. These are
now being approved through a Single Member Decision by the Lead Member who thanks
the Members for their contributions.
2. There will now be a further consultation on a selection of projects that have been
developed by the Council officers that meet the requirements of the existing s106
agreements and designed to mitigate the effects of the developments in their wards.
3. We will be writing individually to the members with a list of these proposed projects for
their wards asking for their comments, including Members suggestions of any further
projects. Once we have received feedback and reviewed the comments, the approved
projects will be taken forward by a future Single Member Decision.
4. The other suggestions where suitable s106 agreements could not be immediately
identified have been incorporated into a Wishlist and will be published in due course. This
will be reviewed in the light of future s106 receipts and as other potential sources of
funding become available, including in due course, CIL.

41

Update on Section 106 funding

Approvals
Following the consultation last year inviting suggestions from councillors, residents
and community associations on possible projects for s106 funding, some 4m worth
of projects was soon to be agreed by Councillor Dennison through a single member
decision. A summary of the funded schemes is attached as Appendix 1 Approvals.
All these projects should be completed by March 2016.
Projects Not Approved The Wish List
Councillor Dennison regarded all the schemes suggested last year as a priority and
while suitable s106 resources had not been identified for other schemes that were
put forward, those that were not being approved in this round had been placed on a
wish list for further consideration. The Council will be seeking s106 agreements to
cover them when developments occur in the area and examining whether there are
other resources we can use. Going forward, the Community Infrastructure Levy was
expected to provide funding for such projects. Some of the suggestions made last
year required further work and officers were still dealing with these. Councillor
Dennison was hopeful that a further round will be ready for approval by July. In the
meantime, the wish list will be published so that Members could keep track of them
and a copy will be sent directly to them. Later in the summer Councillor Dennison
will be inviting participation in a fresh call for projects that mitigate local development
or otherwise improve the local area.
New Projects
S106 agreements can be quite prescriptive and a list of new compliant schemes that
had been developed for individual wards by various service managers had been
circulated to the Area Forum and would circulated to local community organisations
inviting their views also. Funding was available for these schemes and Councillor
Dennison advised that he would be grateful if Members would consider the proposed
projects over the next few weeks and advise if they wanted to see them progressed.
He encouraged Members to discuss these projects with any interested or affected
residents, businesses and local organisations and he would progress the projects
once they had been approved by the relevant local Councillors. The projects were
listed by ward and there were some Borough-wide projects too.
Comments
Comments on these projects should be sent by email to ldf@hounslow.gov.uk. We
aim to end the consultation on these projects 3 weeks after the date of your next
Area Forum. If Councillors required additional time to consult with ward colleagues
or local residents, they should let ldf know.

42

Councillor Dennison hoped to attend the next area forum but if Members had any
questions regarding s106 funding or would like to discuss potential projects they
could email him at theo.dennison@hounslow.gov.uk or give call 07950 468 361.

Report Summary

1. This report deals with an informal consultation with residents of Bedfont Close,
Stanwell Road, Hatton Road, Spinney Drive and West View on a possible
Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) on these roads.
2. It recommends that no further action is taken.
3. These recommendations are being made as the informal consultation results
shows insufficient support for the proposal.

44

3.

Reason for Decision and Options Considered

3.1

A petition from local residents requesting the introduction of a Controlled

Parking Zone in Hatton Road, between Bedfont Close and Stanwell Road, was
presented to the Bedfont, Feltham and Hanworth Area Forum on 13th
November 2014. Following the presentation, Forum Members agreed that
officers consult residents informally on the option of a CPZ and report the
outcome to a future meeting of the Forum. The proposed CPZ area for
consultation was agreed with members.

3.2

A consultation exercise was undertaken with local residents to gauge the level
of support in Bedfont Close, Stanwell Road, Hatton Road, Spinney Drive and
West View. The consultation exercise ran from 20th March 2015 to 10th April
2015. Consultation material was delivered to dwellings on these roads. A
copy of the consultation material delivered to residents, including plan, can be
found in the appendix of this report.

3.3

Following the consultation exercise, 162 responses were received from local
residents. 45 of the respondents indicated support for the proposal (28%),
whilst 114 (72%) of the respondents were not in favour. 3 of the responses
received did not indicate whether they were for or against the proposal.
The table below shows the number of responses received for each road within
the proposal, and the level of support for the proposal for each road as a
percentage. It can be seen that only Hatton Road demonstrated support for
inclusion within a CPZ.

RESULTS OF THE PROPOSED BEDFONT CLOSE AREA CPZ INFORMAL CONSULTATION BY ROAD

3.4

The results do not indicate a clear level of support. In view of this, and in line
with current Council policy, officers have considered the majority response and
recommend that no further action is taken at this stage. In doing so, the
responses to the remaining questions regarding preferred CPZ operational
hours are not considered in this report. Subject to Members agreement,
approval is sought to notify the lead petitioner of the consultation outcome and
of this Forums decision.

An assessment for relevance has been undertaken to determine whether the

public sector equality duty is engaged by this proposal. The relevance
assessment gave due regard to the following equalities protected
characteristics age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity,
race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
There is no evidence to indicate that the equality duties have been engaged
by this proposal. The assessment concluded that none of the equalities
protected characteristics are affected by this proposal because the proposal is
remote or peripheral to the substance of the equality duty. Therefore, it is
considered that there is no need for an Equalities Impact Assessment to be
carried out and that in approving this proposal the Council will be acting in
compliance with its duties under the Equality Act 2010.

Dear Resident / Occupier

Bedfont Close area - Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) consultation
The Council has received petitions from the residents of Bedfont Close and Stanwell Road,
and from those on a section of Hatton Road, requesting the introduction of a Controlled
Parking Zone (CPZ) in their road, as a consequence of parking difficulties arising from
commuter parking and by holiday makers.
Traffic officers have undertaken a preliminary site investigation, which has identified high
levels of parking in these roads, and those on neighbouring roads. The findings were
reported to the Bedfont, Feltham, Hanworth Area Forum (November 2014) with a
recommendation that a wider area be considered for consultation on a CPZ. The roads
making up the area shown on the attached plan will be included for consultation.
I am writing to seek your views on parking in your road and whether you would support the
introduction of a CPZ.
Please find enclosed a summary of how CPZs operate, the costs involved and some other
additional information which you may find helpful. I would be grateful if you could complete
and return the attached questionnaire by 10th April 2015 using the prepaid envelope
provided. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me
on the above using any of the methods listed.
Please note that this is only a consultation at this stage, and no decision will be made until
the results have been reported to a future meeting of the Area Forum. Your views will
determine whether parking controls are introduced in the area, and I therefore encourage
you to participate in the consultation process and return your questionnaire in the prepaid
envelope provided.
Yours faithfully,
Carl McMahon
Traffic Engineer

INFORMATION ON CONTROLLED PARKING ZONES AND HOW THEY OPERATE

WHAT IS A CONTROLLED PARKING ZONE?
A Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) is an area where all kerbside space is marked out with
parking spaces where it is safe to park. Waiting restrictions (yellow lines) would be placed
everywhere else where parking would not be allowed while the CPZ is operational, or longer
periods as shown on signs.
CPZs are used to provide protected parking facilities for residents and their visitors,
businesses and their visitors as well as short-term parking for shoppers and visitors to other
commercial premises.
CPZs are usually located in town centres and areas surrounding underground and rail
stations where extraneous parking most affects residents and businesses.
CPZs ease congestion caused by illegal and obstructive parking and make it easier for
residents, shoppers and visitors to park.
HOW DO CPZs WORK?
CPZs work by ensuring that only vehicles with valid permits are allowed to park in
designated bays during the hours the CPZ operates. Permits will only be made available to
local residents and businesses within the CPZ boundary. At other times parking is
unrestricted except where yellow lines operate for longer periods. Any vehicles that are
parked illegally during the controlled times are liable to receive a Penalty Charge Notice
(parking ticket).
Service/delivery vehicles can load or unload for up to 20 minutes on the yellow lines where
there are no loading restrictions and also in residents or shared use bays. However,
someone must be in attendance at all times to avoid a parking ticket.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A CPZ?
Residents and their visitors are given priority when parking in residential roads.
Short stay pay and display parking bays are located in or near the shopping areas, which will
increase the turnover of parking spaces and therefore help shoppers to find a parking space.
Shared use bays (pay & display and residents permit or pay and display / residents permit /
business permit) may be used in locations adjacent to residential premises, shops and other
businesses, or in special circumstances should they be required.
Yellow lines will prevent obstructive parking on junctions, across driveways, on bends and in
narrow roads.

49

Accessibility will be improved for pedestrians, wheelchair users and the disabled, buses, the
emergency services and refuse collection vehicles by removing obstructive parking.
CPZs HAVE SOME DISADVANTAGES
The layout of parking bays may appear to reduce the amount of parking spaces available,
but much of this parking may be obstructive or dangerous. However, every attempt will be
made to optimise the amount of on street parking bays, without compromising safety and
accessibility requirements.
It is possible that parking will be displaced into uncontrolled roads close to the CPZ
boundary. Should this occur, there will be an opportunity to extend the CPZ.
The signs and road markings that must be used may be perceived as being visually
obtrusive, although every effort will be made to keep signs and lines to a minimum.
The scheme does not permit residents to park across driveways. This is because practical
enforcement difficulties arise from such a scheme and they can create tension between
neighbours (e.g. a neighbour may choose to park partly across your driveway even though
he/she should not). Some local authorities are allowing residents to park across their
driveways for some schemes. Hounslow will study these schemes and if widely successful,
we may change our policy in this regard.
TYPES OF PARKING BAYS AND WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARK IN THEM
Residents permit parking Bays would be marked for the use of vehicles displaying a valid
parking permit during the hours of control. Only residents of the zone will be eligible for
parking permits. One permit is needed for each vehicle parked on street during the hours
the zone operates. No permit is required if residents do not need to park on-street during
the hours of control.
Visitor parking
Residents' visitors can park in private driveways where this is possible or arrange their visits
outside the restricted time, if this is convenient. Alternatively, they may use "Visitor Permits"
if they wish to park on street during the operational hours of the scheme. It is worth noting
that accommodation of visitors within the zone could reduce on street parking provision for
residents themselves since they will occupy the same parking bays.
Visitors can park in residents permit bays during the hours of control provided a valid visitor
permit is displayed in their vehicle. Outside the hours of control visitors do not need to
display a permit.
Shared use bays
Shared use bays may be used for parking by residents and their visitors in the same way as
residents bays or by short term visitors to the area who buy a pay and display ticket at an
on-street machine. Residents and their visitors should display a valid permit whilst parked in

50

these bays during the hours of control. Residents are permitted to park in shared use bays
all day by displaying their relevant permits. Visitors are also permitted to park in these bays
for the duration of the displayed visitor permit.
Parking for disabled badge holders
Residents who have blue badges are eligible to park in on-street pay and display, shared
use and permit holder bays (except where controlled signs state otherwise) without
displaying a residents parking permit.
Blue badge holders are exempt for up to 3 hours on yellow lines where there are no loading
restrictions and provided their vehicle does not cause safety or congestion problems.
Alternatively they can park in any disabled persons parking bay. To qualify they must
properly display their blue badge.
Motorcycle parking
Motorcycles or scooters can park free of charge in any dedicated motorcycle bay (both onstreet or in a council car park) or in any residents bay or shared use bay where a resident
permit would normally be accepted (please refer to on-street signs). Motorcycles or
scooters may not park on the footway other than in designated footway parking bays.
PERMIT CHARGES
Residents permits: 67.50 per year for 1st vehicle,
112.50 per year for 2nd vehicle,
185.60 per year for 3rd vehicle.
Visitors Permits: 22.50 per card. Each card is divided into 30 lines and each line allows 1
hours parking. Parking for your visitors will therefore cost 67p per hour.
Carer/Medical Permits: 67.50 per year. This is available to assist people such as
independent elderly residents, who may possibly be housebound, to maintain their lifestyle.
Carer permits are not available for Nannies. A relative/nominated friend may apply for a
carer permit.

Report Summary
1. This report deals with the results of a detailed design consultation
undertaken with residents of the Tilley Road area, comprising Hawthorn
Road, Highfield Road, Orchard Road, Peach Road, Railway Terrace and
Tilley Road, for a possible Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ);
2. It recommends that all roads consulted be progressed to the formal statutory
consultation for the proposed introduction of a CPZ;
3. It also recommends that the CPZ operates between Monday-Sunday,
9.00am-8.00pm;
4. These recommendations are being made based on the majority support for
the CPZ;
5. If adopted, the key financial implications for the Council relate to the formal
(statutory) consultation which will be in the region of 30,000.

3.

Reason for Decision and Options Considered

3.1

At its meeting of 22nd January 2015 the Bedfont, Feltham and Hanworth Area
Forum considered a report detailing the results of an informal consultation on
the proposed introduction of a CPZ in the Tilley Road area. This area
comprised Almond Close, Hawthorn Road, Hazel Grove, Highfield Road,
Lemon Grove, Orchard Road, Plum Close, Peach Road, Railway Terrace and
Tilley Road. The results of this informal consultation showed support for a
CPZ from Hawthorn Road, Highfield Road, Orchard Road, Peach Road,
Railway Terrace and Tilley Road.

3.2

The remaining roads, Almond Close, Hazel Grove, Lemon Grove and Plum
Close are not adopted highway and are managed by Hounslow Housing.
Hounslow Housing would then undertake their own review / consultation on
private scheme with tenants relating to parking in the private areas. At that
meeting, Members approved the officer recommendation of proceeding to the
next stage of the consultation process, known as the detailed design
consultation.

3.3

The detailed design consultation format was a covering letter explaining the
outcome of the informal consultation and Area Forum resolution, information
on how CPZs work and the costs involved. A questionnaire to ascertain
residents views and a plan showing the proposed scheme design, i.e. location
of parking bays, etc, were also attached. The detailed design consultation with
residents commenced on 2nd March 2015 and ended on 23rd March 2015.
Copies of the consultation documents and results are appended to this report
(Appendix A & B)

3.4

A total of 228 consultation documents were delivered to the properties in the

area and 50 responses were received, which represents an overall response
rate of 22%. The responses to the questionnaire are summarised below.

3.5

Question 1 asked residents if they were in favour of their road being included
in a CPZ having had the opportunity to view the scheme design. The results
indicate that the majority of respondents from 5 of the 6 roads consulted are in
favour of the introduction of parking controls in their road. It should, however,
be noted that the results for Peach Road show opposition to inclusion in the
proposed CPZ. The results to Q1 are shown below:

3.6

In light of the support for a CPZ, officers recommend that the scheme be
progressed to the formal (statutory) consultation stage.
Officers also
recommend that, should Members be minded to approve progression of the
CPZ, Peach Road also be included in the scheme as its exclusion will almost
certainly result in displaced parking occurring and future parking difficulties
arising for residents of that road.

3.7

Questions 2 and 3 relate to the possible operational times of any future CPZ in
the area. As the area consulted is located adjacent to the existing Feltham
Town Centre shopping area, and based upon the responses received during
the informal consultation, officers submitted two possible operational hours for
residents to consider; these were 9am-5pm and 9am-8pm and were deemed
the most suitable times to counteract the shoppers parking that occurs. The
results to Q2, shown below, indicate that the preferred operational hours
would be the extended times of 9am-8pm.

Question 3 asked residents for their views on the possible operational days
should a CPZ be introduced in the area. The 3 options put forward were
Monday-Friday, Monday-Saturday and Monday-Sunday. The response to this
question shows clear support a scheme that operates Monday through to
Sunday.

3.9

Based upon these consultation results, officers recommend that, should a

CPZ be approved for implementation, the operational times be MondaySunday, 9am-8pm.

Question 4 asked residents that if they did not support the introduction of CPZ
would they reconsider if the roads around them showed support. Peach Road
was the only road not in support of a CPZ and the responses to this question
also indicated that they would not support the introduction of a CPZ despite
the responses from surrounding roads. As stated above, the exclusion of
Peach Road will almost certainly result in parking difficulties here and officer
recommendation therefore is that the road be included in the proposed
scheme. The formal consultation will provide a further opportunity for residents
to object, should they wish to.

3.11

Question 5 asked residents for their views on the use of a dedicated Car Club
bay if one was to be implemented. The majority of respondents did not support
this suggestion so provision will not be made.

3.12

Subject to Members approval, the next stage will be the formal consultation
for the making of a Traffic Management Order (TMO) to enable the
enforcement of CPZ restrictions. The process associated with this will include
a 21-day formal (statutory) consultation period during which objections or
representations can be made to the proposals. Officers will also write to all
affected residents to confirm the outcome of this Forum as well as confirming
how residents can object or make representation during the statutory
consultation stage.

3.13

If Members approve the recommendation at paragraph 3.10 in relation to

Peach Road and objections are received during the formal (statutory)
consultation stage, it is recommended that delegated authority be given to the
Chair of this Forum in consultation with the Ward Councillors to consider and
resolve.

3.14

Officers further recommend that a review of the CPZ be undertaken 12

months after implementation to ascertain residents views on its success or
otherwise. Should complaints be received from residents prior to the 12
month period, the review process be brought forward subject to agreement
with Ward Councillors and the Chair of this Forum.

4.

Financial Details

a)

Financial Impact On The Budget (Mandatory)

The cost of progressing the CPZ to the statutory (formal) consultation stage
and implementation will be in the region of 30,000. This can be met from

58

from TfLs allocation to the borough for CPZs under the LIP programme for the
2015/16 financial year.
b) Comments of the Assistant Director Strategic Finance
TfL grant funding of 30,000 is available and can be used for the purpose
stated in the recommendations of this report subject to the terms of the grant
being met. As is currently the case, any income generated from introducing
CPZ enforcement will be re-invested in other highway management initiatives.

5.

Legal (to be completed in conjunction with the Legal Department)

a)

Legal Details

5.1

Local authorities have a duty under section 122 of the Road Traffic Regulation
Act 1984 to secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of
vehicular and other traffic (including pedestrians) and the provision of suitable
and adequate parking facilities on and off the highway. It is considered that in
confirming the Traffic Management Order in respect of the proposals outlined
in this report, this Authority will be acting in compliance with its duties.

5.2

Subject to statutory consultation requirements, which the council has complied

with, the council has powers to introduce and change CPZs under the Road
Traffic Regulation Act 1984, The Local Authorities Traffic Orders (Procedure)
(England and Wales) 1996 and the Traffic Signs Regulations and General
Directions 2002.

b)

Comments of the Head of Legal and Monitoring Officer

The Head of Legal and Monitoring Officer supports the recommendations in
the report.

Value For Money

7.

Sustainability Impact Appraisal

7.1

Managing parking to meet the requirements of local residents and businesses

can offer benefits to the environment and help improve the performance of the
boroughs road network

8.

Risk Management

8.1

Any adverse impacts of introducing parking controls on the general public is

mitigated by undertaking extensive informal public consultation and statutory
consultation as required by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the
Local Authorities Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales), namely
advertising the intended proposal by way of a public notice published in the
London Gazette, local press and at visible locations on site where the
measures are proposed, seeking support for the proposals and the approval of
the Area Forum.

9.

Links to Council Priorities

59

9.1

On street parking control measures, such as CPZs, allow improved access at

crossing points and road junctions by preventing obstructive parking at these
locations which assists pedestrians, particularly the visually impaired or those
with restricted mobility

9.2

The principle of enforcing parking controls is integral to delivering the Mayors

Transport Strategy and the Councils adopted Local Implementation Plan.

10.

Equalities, Human Rights and Community Cohesion

10.1

The council has to give due regard to its equalities duties and in particular with
respect to the public sector equality duty as provided in the Equality Act 2010,
section 149.
An assessment for relevance has been undertaken to determine whether the
public sector equality duty is engaged by this proposal. The relevance
assessment gave due regard to the following equalities protected
characteristics age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity,
race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
There is no evidence to indicate that the equality duties have been engaged
by this proposal. The assessment concluded that none of the equalities
protected characteristics are affected by this proposal because the proposal is
remote or peripheral to the substance of the equality duty. Therefore, it is
considered that there is no need for an Equalities Impact Assessment to be
carried out and that in approving this proposal the Council will be acting in
compliance with its duties under the Equality Act 2010.

11.

Staffing/Workforce and Accommodation implications:

To the Resident / Occupier

Dear Resident / Occupier

TilleyRoad Area Proposed Controlled Parking Zone Design Consultation.
Following the controlled parking zone (CPZ) consultation undertaken during
September/October last year, I am writing to you to confirm the consultations results and
the outcome of the Bedfont, Feltham and Hanworth Area Forum at which the results were
considered.
The overall response to the proposed CPZ consultation indicated a fairly even split
between those that were in favour and those otherwise. It was, however, evident that the
majority of those who supported the CPZ proposals were residents whose properties were
directly accessed from those roads classified as adopted public highway, i.e. Orchard
Road, Tilley Road, etc.
Following consideration of the consultation results, Members of the Bedfont, Feltham and
Hanworth Area Forum agreed that the proposed CPZ should be advanced to the second
stage detailed design consultation in Hawthorn Road, Highfield Road, Orchard Road,
Peach Road, Railway Terrace and Tilley Road. Members also agreed that the remaining
roads, namely Almond Close, Hazel Grove, Ivory Court, Lemon Grove, Plum Close, St
Catherines Court and Taylors Court be consulted by Hounslow Housing separately to
discuss a permit and parking system for those roads (as they are currently classified as
private roads and are therefore managed separately to the adopted public highway).
The purpose of the detailed design consultation is to give residents within the proposed area
the opportunity to assess the Councils proposals, including the scheme design, before
indicating whether they support the introduction of the scheme.
Attached is a plan showing the proposed scheme design.In conjunction with the CPZ
proposals, the council is considering the introduction of a car club bay on the east side of Tilley
Road, opposite Belvedere House. A car club is a car sharing network which provides easy
access to a hire car as it is parked nearby, available for hire from as little as an hour, as well as
having daily and weekend rates. Research shows that people who drive less than a couple of
times a week (or 6,000 miles per year) could save up to 1,500 annually by joining a car club.
Even if you do not use car a club yourself, it reduces demand for parking. A car club scheme

62

can remove up to twenty privately owned vehicles on the road as residents sell their own cars
or defer the purchase of a new one, potentially increasing the number of parking spaces
available to residents.Currently you can hire a car for as little as 6/hour which includes fuel,
insurance and congestion charge fees.
If you would like to know more about car clubs, or have comments/questions, please contact
us at travelplanning@hounslow.gov.uk.
Please also note that since the information provided in the initial consultation in regard to
costs, there has been an increase which will come into effect as of 1 April 2015.The list below
shows the current and the new prices.
Residents permits:

60 per year for 1st vehicle, increasing to 67.50,

100 per year for 2nd vehicle, increasing to 112.50 and
165 per year for 3rd vehicle. Increasing to 185.60.

Visitors Permits:
20 per card of 30 1hour lines, increasing to 22.50.
Temporary Visitor Permit (1 month): 32.50, increasing to 36.56.
Carer/Medical Permits:

60 per year, increasing to 67.50.

Should you have any queries or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Please be assured that this is only a consultation at this stage and that any decision to
progress the scheme or otherwise will be made at a future meeting of the Bedfont,
Feltham and Hanworth Area Forum, based on the responses to this consultation.
If there is insufficient support for a CPZ, we will look at any local parking problems that you
have raised to determine if alternative measures can be considered to resolve them.
Should you require any further information please contact me on 0208 583 4882 or by
email via amarpal.soor@hounslow.gov.uk.Thank you for taking the time to participate in this
consultation and I look forward to receiving your completed questionnaire.I would be grateful
if you would return the attached questionnaire in the envelope provided (no stamp
necessary) by23rdMarch 2015.

BRIEFING NOTE
1.

Recommendations
1.1 That Members:
(a) Note the petition and the ongoing review of the vehicle crossovers policy;
(b) Note that applications for crossovers over grass verges are greater than 3
metres in depth cannot be approved until the revised policy is approved by
Cabinet;
(c) Authorise officers to implement any measures identified to address the
congestion and safety issues raised in the petition, subject to the approval
of the ward Councillors;
(d) Agree that the lead petitioner be informed of the Forums decision.

2.

Details

2.1

A petition bearing 48 signatures has been received from residents of

Spinney Drive, Bedfont, requesting approval to construct vehicular
crossovers and accesses to their properties. A copy of the petition is
appended to this note.

2.2

The reason for the request is that the Councils current policy does not
permit crossovers to be constructed over grass verges that are greater
than 3 metres in depth. In Spinney Drive and at the locations where the
crossovers are requested, the verges are in excess of 5 metres, hence the
reason applications have been declined.

2.3

The current crossover policy was revised and approved in 2003, but is
currently under review. The requests and concerns raised in the petition
have also been raised elsewhere in the borough as a result of which
officers will recommend in the revised policy an amendment to the criteria
to enable crossovers to be constructed over any depth of grass verge. This
will however be subject to the use of a suitable construction material which
will retain the visual amenity of a grass verge, such as grasscrete.

2.4

Whilst the amendment, if agreed, will address the petitioners request, the
policy review is at an early stage and current indications are that it will be
presented to the Cabinet in the autumn until which time the current criteria
will continue to apply.

2.5

In the meantime, officers will investigate the congestion and safety issues
also raised in the petition. It is recommended that any ameliorative

69

measures identified are discussed with the ward Councillors and

implemented subject to approval.

Reason for call in

For discussion

Member
Councillor Khan

Officers Comments:
The application is recommended for refusal for the following reasons:
- The proposed property would provide substandard residential accommodation due to poor outlook for the proposed occupants and
insufficient levels of usable amenity space
- The proposed dwelling would be harmful to the amenities of the occupiers of neighbouring properties through noise and disturbance
and loss of amenity space

Summary of objections received (1 objection response received):

- The outbuilding is not off boundaries by 1m
- There is insufficient amenity space for all three units (The existing property is in use as two flats)
- Harm to the amenity of neighbouring properties through increased noise and disturbance and loss of privacy due to overlooking
windows.
- This is an inappropriate back garden development in conflict with the REG's, the London Plan, NPPF and emerging Local Plan.
- Overdevelopment of the site.
