Stanlake Rd Residents Object to Planning Application

Stanlake Mews - Google Maps

A number of Shepherd's Bush locals are unhappy about a new planning application in Stanlake Mews. The application is to convert some of the buildings on Stanlake Mews into a warehouse for Howden Joinery to trade & distribute kitchens.

This would help them to get a central distribution point vs being in an industrial building/estate. Locals are objecting because this new development would then mean that the traffic in the area would considerably increase - with vans & lorries picking up or delivering products to the warehouse.

Locals fear extra traffic in the form of up to 30 to 50 vans a day, and 3 articulated lorries per week.  Stanlake road neighbours consider that this location is not fit for the purpose for which it is intended. They worry that the new traffic generated by the business will be really inconvenient for everyone living around and will change the quiet & residential atmosphere of the neighbourhood.

Of course, all locals must decide for themselves where they stand. New business brings jobs and opportunities as well as noise and disruption.
