}}Grow Heathrow is a land squat and community garden in Sipson, west London. It was occupied in 2010 by local people concerned about the possibility of the expansion of Heathrow Airport. It is part of the Transition network.[1]

Community

Around twenty people live at Grow Heathrow. The squat is offgrid and low carbon. Electricity comes from solar panels and wind turbines. There is a meadow with allotments which are used by both residents and local people. There are also three large greenhouses.[1][2]

The project states that it has four main aims:

  • To further the Heathrow villages as an iconic symbol of community resistance to the economic, ecological and democratic crises.
  • To develop and promote community and resource autonomy to support long-term community resilience
  • To establish replicable structures of organisation, which could provide a model for future non-hierarchical, consensus-based communities.
  • To root the grassroots radical values of the 3rd runway resistance in the Heathrow villages for the long term[3]

Alongside four other squats, the project was raided by the Metropolitan Police 24 hours before the 2011 Royal Wedding. There were no arrests.[4]

Legal Struggles

Grow Heathrow has had a long legal battle. In this it is supported by the local MP for Hayes and Harlington and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer John McDonnell who said in 2017 “We need lawful spaces of protest with the values of education and community embedded in them; Grow Heathrow would be a great loss for my constituency in this crucial campaign year against Heathrow airport’s expansion.”[5]

Over four years after the occupation, the owners Lewdown Holdings Limited took legal action on September 23 2014, at Uxbridge County Court.[6] The owner was granted possession and the project successfully resisted bailiffs in 2015. [7] Grow Heathrow launched an appeal against eviction which lasted into 2016.[8]

Eviction threat 2019

In February 2019, the project made an urgent callout for support after losing a courtcase.[9] An eviction attempt began on February 26, which resulted in half the project being evicted and half remaining.[10][11]
