Ealing Council has granted planning permission for 185 mixed-tenure homes at phase 7.2 of Acton Gardens, a £800 million regeneration of the former South Acton estate in West London. The approval was granted to Countryside Properties. The homes, designed by GRID Architects, will be located between the recently constructed phase 7.1 and opposite Avenue Park. Of the 185 new apartments, 50 per cent will be affordable on a habitable room basis. Forty-four will be for Active Living – independent apartments for over-55s and specifically designed to adapt to people’s changing needs over time. An energy centre hosting a site-wide district heating system will be delivered as part of the phase to help to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality owing to reduction in gas emissions. Public spaces also feature in the plans, including a courtyard garden with direct access for all residents. Acton Gardens is a 52-acre redevelopment of the former South Acton estate, which will total 3,463 new mixed-tenure homes, 50 per cent of which have been designated as affordable. The rehousing of residents is a key priority. Residents from the ‘red-brick’ area of the estate and existing sheltered accommodation will be moving into phase 7.2 once complete, which is scheduled for 2024.
