Alternative ways of funding repairs at the Syon House estate should be considered by the Duke of Northumberland rather than replacing allotments with dozens of new homes, a planning inquiry has been told.

Ralph Percy, the 12th Duke of Northumberland, lost an application in October 2021 to build 80 flats on part of his Grade-I listed Syon Park estate in west London after the council received more than 900 objections from locals to the plans.
