| At 3,407 new home completions every year for the next 5 years, Ealing comes third in London after Wandsworth (4,383) and Westminster (4,341) in the Government's new targets. Allegedly there were 2,100 new home completions in Ealing in 2023. Why have Ealing residents been a saddled with this huge target of over 17,000 new homes and some 35,000 new residents by 2029? The new Government planning policy published yesterday suggests that for large developments it won't be Ealing Council which determines these applications. It will be the GLA. So Ealing residents will be even more remote from decision making than they are now. Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land will no longer be necessarily no-go areas for residential development. Worries about building tower blocks on the Gurnell Swimmimg Pool site have now increased. |
