The London Borough of Hounslow applies its Local Plan (2015) and the London Plan. Its new Local Plan was submitted in June 2025, and the examination hearings ran from January to July 2026. Further written evidence is being gathered, so its policies carry growing but not yet full weight.
Chiswick, Strand on the Green, Syon Park and Osterley Park bring some of west London's most important heritage, while the Thames and the River Crane put parts of Brentford, Isleworth and Feltham in Flood Zones 2 and 3.
