Houseboat Planning Application

Paul Bevins from Flat 13 has asked that the following be circulated regarding a local development:

Dear residents,
Our Landlord Mr Peter Banks has applied for planning consent to build a large house boat along the mooring in front of the rear elevation of Regatta Point.   I personally feel it is out of character with the existing house boats. He is proposing to drive two large piles into the river bank and then construct a floating timber raft to support the house.  This design is like the houses along the river banks at Hampton.

Any residents who wish to object to this application? Please visit,
www.hounslow.gov.uk/planning

The application is titled “Herons Moorings”
