COUNCILLORS unanimously added their support to more than 1,000 residents' calls to scrap plans for a 30-storey tower complex on Monday.

Plans to build a complex of high rise flats, offices, cafes, a hotel and a token medical centre in Chiswick High Road were this week dismissed by Chiswick area Planning Committee as 'Croydonisation'.

Refusing the proposals, which go to the Sustainable Development Committee in the new year, councillors strengthened the appeals of 1,230 householders.

Project spokesman Steve Bartlett said: "I want people to make a valued decision about the scheme. They say they need key worker housing, this project delivers 65 units of key and social housing on a very small plot size and the only way to build it is up."
