Master Brewer: update (fingers crossed)

Posted on by

We welcome Hillingdon Council’s 10 May announcement that it has sought a Judicial Review of the Mayor of London’s decision to grant permission for the most recent Master Brewer planning application. 

We have repeatedly raised concerns about the way the Mayor has considered London Plan tall buildings policies, so we are pleased to see that this issue forms part of Hillingdon Council’s case. 

As we set out earlier this year, the Mayor’s decision to grant permission was enormously disappointing for local community groups, who had invested time and effort in creating a community masterplan to show the sort of development that would be appropriate for the vacant site.  

A Judicial Review is a type of court proceeding that considers the way in which a decision has been made, rather than the rights and wrongs of the conclusion reached.  Over the next few weeks, a Judge will decide whether the case should be heard. If the case is heard and the Judge agrees with Hillingdon Council’s arguments, the Mayor could be ordered to reconsider the application.

FROM HS2

Update:

We wrote to you in April to advise that we would be carrying out utility works from 17 May to 30 September 2021 and over two weekends. However, additional weekend working will be required.

From 17 May 2021, we will be carrying out utility surveys and utility connection along Harvil Road as part of the road realignment works. Temporary traffic management and lane closures will be required to ensure these works can be carried out safely.

We hope to reduce the duration of the lane closure by working additional weekends.

HS2 Works notification: Update: Notice of works at Breakspear Road South, 9 – 14 May 2021

We wrote to you previously to advise you that we would be carrying out works from 7 to 9 May 2021. We need to extend the lane closure from 9 to 14 May 2021, in order to complete these works.

The road crossing at Breakspear Road South will become operational for our site traffic from 10 May 2021. The London Borough of Hillingdon has approved a speed limit reduction from 40mph to 30mph between Swakeleys Road and Breakspear Road, and to 20mph near the haul road crossing.

To ensure that this area is ready, we will be carrying out road and utility works along Breakspear Road South from 7 May 2021, in the area shown on the link below

These works will include the installation of concrete traffic barriers and line markings. Additionally, we will investigate the condition of the culvert system using a CCTV camera mounted on a small robot. Your utility services will not be affected.

Most of the work activities on the carriageways will be restricted to lane closures. However, for safety reasons there will be a full road closure needed for one night on 7 May.
