[Qprnw10]

Fuk me Genesis Housing, I live in one of their developments. Everything breaks.

Same here.They're a pile of ####!!!

Looks like the Park Royal side of old oak common, bordering on east acton

Hence why it would be good if someone could pop in.
You are excused though for obvious reasons!

Come on, he could make the effort if he really wanted to....tsk...

Yes, I regret being unable to make it, would be very interested in learning more. Would have gladly brought along a brick or a couple to help them get started and all.

Yes, I'd like to see where it is supposed to be?
I visited the website but could not find it?

It's where the brown roofs are (just left of centre) and to the west of the Car Giant site:

I see, next to the (or INSTEAD OF) Heathrow Express Train Care Facility?

Yes, and specifically where those brown roofs are.

If you look on the website of the original link there is a lot more detail.
Interesting this as it appears to be strategic only, the HA are the ones owning the land yet we have jointly applied for planning.

[Olly]

They own the land, we've got the dosh to build it?

Ok, sooooo. What is the actual plan? What's the strategy?

Why don't you pitch up and ask the questions on one of the evenings and report back to us hits?

Na mate, not being funny, seen someone else say similar on lfw. Just don't understand what strategy we are using here against Cargant. Just one question, if we build 600 houses on that bit of land, how would car giant be effected....... Just don't get it

I dont think they will be affected. Old Oak is a massive area and Car Giant own a proportion of that so I guess QPR and perhaps Genesis have their hands on other parts of the land, as do other separate developers. The plan for the Old Oak area is to have circa 24,000 new homes...the Car Giant site currently has been approved for 7,000 and this one only 600. The Natural History and Science Museum are also planning to open sites here. We could all have a little boozy gettogether prematch while marveling at the wondersl of science.

I like the idea of a stadium by the canal - could start up a ferry service on match days. Instead of coaches we could take barges to Watford, MK Dons and Brum (and wherever else the waterway goes).... might even qualify for some sort of green transport rebate and travel for free.
