Number 3: ATTEND as much of the Appeal Hearing as you can, 10am-4pm daily, 14th-17thFebruary, 2017, The Council Chamber, RBKC Town Hall, Hornton Street.
The proposed Newcombe House Tower planning application was rejected by the RBKC Planning Committee in March but the developers are Appealing. The Appeal Hearing will be 10am-4pm daily with a break for lunch. Members of the public are free to attend as little or as much of the Hearing as they can.
If opposition to the proposed Tower is confirmed by residents attending the Appeal, it could help subconsciously swing a wavering Inspector in our favour – it’s important to show the Inspector that we care especially if he/she is on the fence! |

At last residents seem to be forming vigorous action groups to oppose the rape of the Royal Borough by property speculators. First the Affinity Sutton action group and now the Hillgate Vilage residents are on the warpath. The Notting Hill Gate proposals look shocking. Wholesale destruction of Cafe Society land to be replaced by "buy to leave".
ReplyDeleteOnce again (amazing) Officers and Councillors have said "NO". Once again the developers have appealed the decision. The Inspector knows that Government (his paymaster) is pro development at any cost. Good luck to the residents - they will need it
The Hillgate Village Residents Association are firecrackers. It makes the other local resident groups (Campden Hill Residents and the Kensington Society)look aged, staid and washed up.
ReplyDeleteThe Association needs help from the press. Without this the cause is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.
DeleteAs a doornail
Why do silly people like Pip Pip (or is this Inspector Clouseau again) make idiotic comments like this to undermine all the excellent work being done by so many across the borough to combat the present administration's outrages?
DeleteThe whole Notting Hill Gate development proposal (adding floors to all the current buildings) will build a fortress around the pretty houses of Hillgate Village and destroy the area.
ReplyDeleteI and my sette are joining today... A worthwhile effort, which should be commended and joined by as many as possible to get a loud voice.
ReplyDeleteStaggering to see a monstrous tower like this proposed for the Gate. Ugly, ugly, ugly. And the wind effects that will be created will blow pedestrians off their feet and junk from Macdonalds will be blown all over the area.
ReplyDeleteAll in pursuit of the great cause of buy to leave.
Terry Farrell's Chelsea towers opposite Battersea bridge are going up thanks to the council making Chelsea chav city.
DeleteOne problem, no buyers or tennants or affordable housing.
Where is our 'glorious' leader Ladee Borwick? Seems as MP for Kensington the only thing she turns up to is a photograph oppotunity much like our other 'glorious' leader Mayor of London Khan.
ReplyDeleteIs it time for the Dame to remind Borwick that she has a job to ensure the interests of the residents who voted her in.
Unfortuantely after a year half we have seen very little of Borwick and action on taxpayers concerns, the residents are restless and may take it out on her in 2020.
One word, TRUMP!
Vote her out in 2020 she is is an absent MP just like Rifkind.
DeleteDame, could ask you hornets about boundary changes if we should once gain have an MP overseeing both Kensington & Chelsea.
At least for those of us in Chelsea we would see the back of Greg gaumless Hands.
The Dame is above party politics and she will not be drawn into squabbles.
ReplyDeleteThere are three ladies who work hard on behalf of those they represent.
In no particular order they are:
1. Cllr Dent Coad: Labour
2. Victoria Borwick: Conservative
3. Linda Wade: Liberal Democrat
The Dame hopes that puts to bed any notion the Dame is politically partisan.
And, on the matter of Victoria Borwick....The Dame knows that she is 150% more active on behalf of residents than ever Malcolm Rifkind was.
