    “Cllr Owen advised members that they must read the report in conjunction with the original 6 August committee report and the addendum to the committee report dated 5 August 2026.”
    Minutes, 3 Sep 2026, Gunnersbury Park, Popes Lane, Ealing
  • Spoke
    “Cllr Owen confirmed that all members of the Planning Committee sitting for this item had attended the meeting on 6 August and who, at that meeting, had heard all the speakers in connection with the Application. He advised that deferral of an item on the Planning Committee agenda could occur for a number of reasons and the reason for this deferral from 6 August was set out clearly in the current case officer's report.”
    Minutes, 3 Sep 2026, Gunnersbury Park, Popes Lane, Ealing
  • Spoke
    “Cllr Owen advised that rights of public speaking at Planning Committee meetings, which were meetings held in public, not public meetings, was a practice adopted by most local planning authorities, but was not as a matter of law a requirement of the planning decision making process.”
    Minutes, 3 Sep 2026, Gunnersbury Park, Popes Lane, Ealing
  • Spoke
    “Cllr Craig Owen stated that he had voted to defer the Application in August because he believed that the requested 22 days of events and 115 days of temporary infrastructure plus unlimited presence of trackways threatened the openness of the park.”
    Minutes, 3 Sep 2026, Gunnersbury Park, Popes Lane, Ealing
  • Spoke
    “Cllr Owen advised that he was therefore more comfortable that the temporary harm arising from the Application had been reduced through fewer event days and improved mitigation.”
    Minutes, 3 Sep 2026, Gunnersbury Park, Popes Lane, Ealing
  • Spoke on highway safety
    “Cllr Craig Owen agreed with many of the previous comments, adding that he felt the recommendations were perhaps being selective in the way that they were applying Hounslow Highways guidance and so he would therefore vote to refuse.”

How this is worked out

Everything here is read from Hounslow’s published planning committee minutes, 10 meetings from June 2025 to September 2026. A councillor is matched across meetings by the council’s own member number where it has one, otherwise by full name.

Each vote shows how it is known. Named in the minutes: the minutes, or the council’s own recorded vote, list each member with their vote. From the count and the names: the minutes give the numbers and name the members in the minority, and every member present is known. All members present in favour: the minutes say every member voted for it and the members present are known. No vote against recorded: the minutes record the decision with no vote against, no abstention and no count, at a council whose minutes print a divided vote when there is one, so each member present is counted for. Unanimous vote: the minutes call the decision unanimous, or give a count with no one against and no one abstaining, and each member present is counted for. From the meeting recording: the vote was heard on the council’s recording of the meeting and closes exactly with the members present. Where none of these holds, the vote is left as “Not recorded” and is not counted.

Votes are on the resolution the committee passed, so a vote for is a vote with the majority. A vote is a decision on the application in front of the committee, not a statement of the councillor’s views. A percentage is shown only with five or more votes, decisions or meetings behind it.
