Friends of Rectory Farm
Hounslow Council's Heston and Cranford Area Forum heard in October 2025 about the formation of Friends of Rectory Farm, a group opposing a proposed development.
The Friends of Rectory Farm, a residents' group formed to oppose a proposed development at Rectory Farm, was announced at Hounslow Council's Heston and Cranford Area Forum in October 2025. The group aims to petition landowners against the proposal, which residents fear could involve an open cast mine for 12 years.
Residents have raised concerns about the potential for increased HGV traffic, noise, and air pollution resulting from the development. They also noted a lack of clear proposals for the land to become an open access park at the end of the 12-year period, according to a report in October 2025.
