This includes the direction we take in planning for: • Housing • Town centres (except Brentford) • Community facilities • Open space • Sustainable design and construction • Tall buildings The Core Strategy covers all issues relating to the future of planning and development in Isleworth.

Isleworth and Brentford’s area priorities – how do we address them? Increasing community safety • Addressed in the Core Strategy Issues and Options consultation through options covering design. If we can ‘design out’ crime, this will increase community safety.
