Barratt’s uphill struggle (reported on lookwest April 22) to get approval on their Hayes Stadium redevelopment proved to be just that when permission for their 301 home development was refused on the grounds of over-development and traffic impact.
Many other objections were raised, but most stemmed from the development being 94 dwellings per hectare, when the planning permission granted on the site at the end of March this year allowed for 49.
Local MP John McDonnell supported the rejection of the application.
