Pickering House Development

Pickering House is the three storey block of 18 former Police flats on the south side of Windmill Road, located between The Plough Junction and Windmill Court. The owner has applied to the Council to add 6 two bedroom flats on the top of the existing building.  This will involve raising the height of the roof and replacing the existing gently sloping roof with an additional residential floor that will extend to the edge of the building.

Little Ealing Primary School Expansion

Ealing Council has decided to expand the local primary school from a two form to a three form entry that will increase the number of pupils from 500 to 710. The expansion should enable the School to admit pupils who live further away than has been possible in recent years. The majority of the additional pupils will be accommodated in a new, two storey high, classroom block facing Hereford Road. Other parts of the site will also be reconstructed. There will be an additional pedestrian entrance in Hereford Road.
