Hogarth roundabout tall building
The ‘Chiswick Calendar’ website reports that residents are taking their objections to a proposed high development alongside Hogarth roundabout at 1 Burlington Lane to the Mayor.

Hounslow Council’s Planning Committee gave the development the go-ahead despite only 6% affordable housing.
