Annual General Meeting - 9th February 2006
Location: Greenside School
Westville Road Entrance
Date: 9th February
Time: 7.30 - 9.00pm
Please come to the Cathnor Park Area Action Group 2006 Annual General Meeting, if you are interested to hear about what has been happening since our highly successful meeting in November 2004, and the subsequent hearing.
It is thanks to the overwhelming efforts of residents,the backing of other local groups like The Hammersmith Society, Ravenscourt Society, Stamford Brook Society, Hammersmith Historical Society, and the support of LBH& F Council and its officers, as well as our local MP Andrew Slaughter, that the proposed development at Allied Carpets was soundly rejected. However, the developers Bexwell Properties have appealed and we are preparing our case for the site appeal hearing scheduled for 5 days starting on June 6th 2006.
We have secured the assistance of a Barrister to represent us, and it is vital all residents and interested parties are prepared and ready for the Appeal in June.
Your new committee is keen to introduce themselves and build on the enthusiasm and interest shown regarding the Allied Carpets Development by the residents, and translate that enthusiasm across some of the other issues facing our community
We welcome all to attend, and in order to help meet our ongoing costs, we will be asking for a voluntary contribution of £3.00 on the door

Planning Application Rejected
At the Planning Application hearing at Hammersmith Town Hall last night, the planning application by Bexwell Properties for the Allied Carpets site was unanimously rejected.
The Committee agreed with the recommendations of the Planning Department that "the development would be unacceptable on visual amenity grounds".
Andrew Slaughter, Chair of the Council made an impassioned plea for the proposals to be rejected, particularly following a ground swell of opposition and anger to the proposal.

How many residents wrote in opposition?
How many - well 239 letters of objection and a petition opposing the development, have been received (by the council).
The petition, which was signed by 94 local residents, with addresses in the locality.
In fact the petition taken at the Public Meeting had several hundred (we think a few pages went missing). Still, a great achievement, and a real example of 'people power'.
