Arcadia and Dickens Yard Developments
The Dickens Yard planning application was passed by the Council's planning committee on 5 November despite the objections of a large number of Ealing's residents and heavy criticism from the Government's heritage and design advisers, English Heritage and the Commission on Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE). However, it is still not too late to continue to influence the process. The application has still to be approved by the Mayor of London and it is not too late to write to him. Full details on how to do this may be found at Save Ealing's Centre's website (see below).
The latest threat to the centre of Ealing comes from proposals from Glenkerrin to redevelop the Arcadia site along with those for a "bus gyratory" on Haven Green. Although a more modest block of 26 storeys has replaced the 41 storey tower, its proposed "blocky" design is rather reminiscent of the 1960s. Other changes to the remaining blocks are less radical and the development would still remain a high density residential one over the railway lines with no supporting infrastructure such as expanded health or schooling facilities, let alone leisure or culture attractions which would benefit the town centre as a whole. The application for the development (but not the bus scheme) was approved by Ealing's Planning Committee on 17 December and subsequently by the Mayor in January 2009. However, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has recently called the application in for determination (a highly unusual step). This means that the application will be the subject of a local public inquiry, the timing of which is currently unknown. More information will be made available at Save Ealing's Centre's website: http://www.saveealingscentre.com/.

SAVE EALING'S CENTRE ALLIANCE FORMED
On 10th October 2007, the formation of the Save Ealing's Centre alliance (SEC) was announced. SEC has been formed in response to proposals submitted to the Council by developer Glenkerrin for the rebuilding of a large part of central Ealing.
HHERA has joined the alliance, as we believe it is in the best interest of our members that we are involved in any discussions about this important development. While not opposed to development in principle, HHERA believes it is vital to be involved in discussions on key issues such as trying to secure adequate and forward-looking public transport facilities at Ealing Broadway station and Haven Green which need to be tackled with such a major development as well as in the light of the decision to go ahead with Crossrail. Further information on the Glenkerrin and Dickens Yard proposals is available at www.saveealingscentre.com.
