Have your say at the local meeting

A meeting is planned for July 2nd in the Brent Valley golf course at 8pm. Local councilors and Steve Pound MP are planning to attend.

Show your support

Steve Pound is likely to attend

Your support is essential to demonstrate to Ealing Council that this development is not wanted by the local people. It serves no purpose other than damaging the village feel of this area forever.

This is a great opportunity to hear the views of the growing numbers of people in the local area who are now aware of this planning application and are opposing it vigorously.

Save Hanwell Village

Don't let this happen to Hanwell Village....

Don't Let This Happen!
Ealing Council is currently assessing a proposal to develop 8 new houses in Church Road, the approach to Bunny Park.


It will mean demolishing an existing house along church road, cutting down approximately 50 mature trees, building a new road, developing 12 car parking spaces and 8 new houses.

Local Opposition
The local residents are strongly opposed to this development and for good reason; it will destroy the village feel of this area.


The introduction of modern town houses, the loss of green space and the subsequent increase in resident cars and traffic will turn this area into 'just another congested housing estate', ruining it for residents and visitors alike.
Hundreds of people visit the Bunny park everyday during summer months. Those lazy walks along church to the Bunny park will soon be a thing of the past if Ealing Council allow this development to proceed.


And the local outcry is amplified as Hanwell Village is a designated conservation area, a ruling imposed by Ealing Council that restricts any change to properties within this vicinity. Whether it's installing double glazing or cutting down a tree in the garden, any change within the conservation area must adhere to the Council's conservation area planning guidelines, but this may not be enough to stop the developers, it's local opposition that counts.


You Can Help
At the moment the proposal is still at the planning application stage. There is a process through which this planning application is assessed and your views are taken into account.


Resistance is Not Futile 
The council is currently listening to the views of local people, which will be taken into consideration prior to a decision on this planning application.
Every objection counts, so if you don't want to see Hanwell Village redeveloped you must act now. You have until 13^th July 2012 to register your objection and this is how to do it.....

Your objection need not include a lot of detail, it can be as simple as 
"I object to Planning application PP/2012/1851 & 1853 – Proposed re-development of 125 & 127 Church Rd because of the following..." 

Development would be within a Conservation area

There will be an increase in traffic on the approach to bunny park

Loss of precious green space and many protected trees

Building on back garden space (contradicting government policy protecting back gardens)

The size and denisty of this development is not in keeping with the area
