Decision Day Looming for Tesco/Homebase Redevelopment |

Mayor set to decide on massive schemes with the week
A decision on the huge development plan for the Tesco and Homebase site is set to be made within the week. The planning applications for the two sites have finally been sent by Hounslow Council to the Mayor of London for his consideration and, according to local residents’ group the Osterley & Wyke Green Residents' Association (OWGRA), the decision will be made by 7 September. OWGRA has already made representations to Sadiq Khan about its concerns and will be sending a delegation to City Hall this Thursday morning 2 September to lobby outside during the Plenary Meeting of the Greater London Assembly (GLA). If you would like to be part of that delegation e-mail info@owgra.org.uk and you will be provided with details. If the Mayor gives his approval to the applications for the two developments, which will include 2,000 housing units and buildings of up to 17 storeys high, then the Secretary of State for Housing, Robert Jenrick, will have the option to 'call in' the scheme for a public enquiry to be held.
