Success on Tasso Road!

Developers have withdrawn their plans to construct an overbearing development at the end of Tasso Road. 

Local Conservatives - including Fulham Reach councillors (myself and Gavin Donovan), local MP Greg Hands, and Conservative Hammersmith Candidate, Shaun Bailey, all came out to oppose the unsuitable scheme.  We worked with local residents who formed the Save Tasso Road Action Group (STAG) to put pressure on the developers to think again.

This is excellent news.  This is thanks to the efforts of everyone who helped in our campaign – from signing a petition, delivering leaflets, coming out for a picture on Saturday morning, or writing in to the council to object to this development.

We were concerned that the development was:

• Too big for a quite cul-de-sac
• Too intrusive on properties in Kinnoul, Humbolt, Abbey Gardens, and Tasso Road
• Out of charecter with the design of the street
• Would encourage traffic to a one entrance street

I have now emailed the developers asking them to consult with local councillors and residents if they decide to submit another application.   

Well done to everyone associated with the campaign - I shall post again when I have news from the developers.
