The land won’t be that contaminated as it’s simply a collection area, not a processing plant, smelter or any other industrial use. Unlike Southall where they are building on a former gasworks site. Bear in mind that the great visionary Bell signed the taxpayers of Ealing up to a £400m loan to fund the Broadway Living development company. Its precarious business model is based entirely on slinging up big towers of cheaply constructed flats (qv Perceval House). To make it work they need to shift as many of these units as possible. Give it a few years, when the 26 storeys of Perceval House has established its blight on Ealing town centre and the plans for Stirling Road will he unveiled. If they own the land they won’t have to fork out for what will by then be a prime development site among dozens of other equally unappealing skyscrapers. In the interim the council sheds the cost of running the recycling facility and raise in a bit of rent from the storage company. |
