Plans to redevelop former gravel pits in Feltham and build up to 1,000 new homes on Green Belt land have received a mixed response from residents.

The results of a public consultation into the ambitious proposals for the Lower Feltham Lakes site, in Chertsey Road, have finally been released.

This is a Land Banking site of Green Belt and Nature Conservancy land which used to be a gravel pit.  A company called Profitable Plots in Singapore bought the site in 2006.  confusingly the company that offers the site now is called Profitable Group also based out of Singapore. Previously in marketing the site was called Concorde Village  Hounslow but seems to have been renamed in this article to Lower Feltham Lakes.   Profitable Group have chopped the site into  9000 plots and are offering  the plots to investors in Asia and Canada. You can see the Singapore TV advert for the land plots here. In the advert they are estimating a 250% return in 3 years for investors.

Presumably this survey and press effort is designed either to influence the local authority in Hounslow or convince investors in Asia that progress is being made.   There is nothing in the article about what the Hounslow Planning Authority thinks.
