How many more new homes can we fit in?

Plans for the Green Man Lane development show a doubling of the residents from some 800 to nearly 2,000. The population of the Sherwood Close Estate may almost double when it too is redeveloped (see later story). These follow on from the hundreds of new homes in the developments at Sinclair House next to the Drayton Court Hotel; in Luminoscity and the old Groveglade market site; on the redeveloped Daniels site and at Lido House, the one-time cinema. Add to these the proposal for 13 flats to replace the undertaker's on the corner of Shirley Gardens and the Uxbridge Road, the new flats above the Cudi Supermarket, the 8 flats due to be built next to the Grosvenor House Surgery, the 17 apartments going above the old McDonald's, the 7-storey block of flats on the edge of Drayton Green and, well, the list is seemingly endless.

We know we need more homes, but there are knock-on effects in terms of pressure on our infrastructure and pressure on our community.

The Council is currently working on the 15-year plan for Ealing (the Local Development Framework 2011-2026) which will set targets for new homes across the borough. Can we please have a sensible, open and honest discussion about how many new homes we can fit in to each part of the borough and not just be led by externally imposed targets such as those in the London Plan?

MAY, 2010 NEWSLETTER

Time to work together

May's Council elections swept Labour back in to power. We wait with interest to hear more about the Labour council's priorities over the coming months. There are some vital decisions on the horizon for West Ealing. Plans for the Green Man Lane Estate are scheduled to go before the Council's planning committee in July. Proposals for the Lido Junction are due this summer.

We hope WEN will be able to engage in constructive discussion with the Council over these and other key local issues. WEN remains firmly committed to the belief that working in partnership with the Council can achieve far more than in opposition. We hope the new Council will take the same view and seek to work in partnership with all of the borough's many active residents groups.
