Reynard Mills Planning Appeal Result

The result of the Planning Inquiry into the proposed redevelopment of Reynard Mills was announced in March 2013.  The excellent news is that both the Secretary of State and the Planning Inspector endorsed Hounslow Council's refusal of the developer's second scheme for Reynard Mills.  While the Inspector was only asked to consider scheme two, many of the criticisms in his report could also apply to scheme three, the slightly smaller scheme which the developer submitted to Hounslow Council while the appeal on scheme two was in progress.
