Planning Permission for the Sports Hall and Pitches Re-landscaping

Two planning applications have now been made to the London Borough of Hounslow for the building of a new Sports Hall and for laying out new pitches on Gunnersbury’s open grassland area. Ealing’s Project Team informed councillors and other interested parties on 2nd December, but the web site did not work properly until 4th December. Hounslow gives citizens 21 days to respond, so the deadline could be 23rd December.

You can find all the details via Hounslow’s Planning Department web site, using the codes P/2015/4519 or 00885/A/S32 for the first one and P/2015/4520 or 00885/A/L15 for the second. There are 86 supporting documents for the first one and 43 for the second one

This is the first application, for planning:

Erection of a new two storey building on the site of the redundant bowls green comprising team changing rooms for the external sports facilities, 5 court sports hall, multi-use studios and associated changing facilities, cafe community room, archive store and office accommodation together with associated external works comprising new natural grass pitches for rugby, cricket, floodlit artificial grass pitches and floodlit tennis courts, multi-use games area, external gym equipment, associated external sports store, car parking provision, cycle storage, waste and recycling facilities and associated hard and soft landscaping

This is the second application, for listed building consent:

Listed building consent for a joint application for the redevelopment of the redundant bowls green, playing fields and garden nursery depot and existing car park sites within the wider Gunnersbury Park involving removal of various greenhouses, glasshouses and lean-to-structures within the garden nursery depot site together with the existing changing and cricket pavilions adjacent to the model farm complex, retention of the listed ‘kitchen garden’ walls originally associated with the small and large mansions, erection of a new two storey building on the site of the redundant bowls green comprising team changing rooms for the external sports facilities, 5 court sports hall, multi-use studios and associated changing facilities, cafe community room, archive store and office accommodation together with associated external works comprising new natural grass pitches for rugby, cricket, floodlit artificial grass pitches and floodlit tennis courts, multi-use games area, external gym equipment, associated external sports store, car parking provision, cycle storage, waste and recycling facilities and associated hard and soft landscaping.

We have downloaded and named all the files and sorted them into useable groups. This exercise has revealed that there are possibly only 54 unique documents among the 129 which have been posted. Here is an index to these files, to help you navigate around the application. Some of them are very large and will take a long time to load. It will take a few more days to read and consider them, so perhaps that will be the next article posted on this web site.
