Brentford Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to Brendon Walsh last month raising a small number of important issues. Here is Brendon’s response.
Thank you for your letter of 17 September, and I am pleased that you found the visit to be a positive one. Officers would like to thank you and your colleagues for their time and we have already put into motion responses to several of the issues raised, as well as projects to build upon the exciting opportunities for further regeneration and economic growth that exist in Brentford’s unique context. I would like to respond to the specific points raised in your letter.
Planning Process
The Council places a great deal of importance on quality of design, and works with applicants from an early stage to ensure that the opportunities presented by individual sites and land uses are realised to create a quality environment for all. This is a responsibility we take seriously. At the early stages of a project we are pro-active about getting the ‘big moves’ right in terms of massing, orientation and access.
Dear Members,
I was invited to the launch of the Golden Mile future plans1 for Brentford, presented by London Borough of Hounslow last Thursday.
The plans put forward are futuristic and will no doubt make a huge impact on those who live and work here over the coming years.
It was very encouraging to see the increased development that is happening at BskyB and a future Brompton World centre potentially being built to keep this award winning company in Brentford.
The proposed improvements to rail links will be vital to enable the viability for the scheme to work successfully although the road networks have not been shown with any improvements. Bringing back the high speed connection between Brentford and Waterloo seems an easy win that hasn’t been included.
Kris Krzyzanowski is the owner of CS Interiors which is located in Commerce Road.
CS Interiors recently had an exhibition stand at The Homebuilding & Renovations Show in Olympia.
Brentford Chamber of Commerce was very pleased to help support the Coffee Morning held on Brentford Dock as part of the Macmillan Cancer’s “World’s Biggest Coffee Morning”.

Named in honour of the University alumnus, the launch celebrated Mr Littner’s achievements, and positions the School as a leading provider of business education connected to the world of work.
aid “Despite the referee’s best efforts, both teams played open, attractive, end-to-end football that was exciting to watch. The result and the style of play was cracking with one of the friendliest atmospheres I’ve experienced at an English club. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Basking in sunshine in the stand, we could have been watching La Liga!”Sophie also thought that “Lunch at the brand new Novotel was fantastic. The service exceeded all expectation and was equivalent to some of London’s finest”.
