Assyrian Centre in South Ealing Road

In early June 2013, EFRA responded to a planning application to expand the Assyrian Centre in South Ealing Road, just outside EFRA's area.  We do not usually comment on matters beyond our borders but it is a local landmark and  the scale of the proposal has implications for the amenity of our members and their neighbours.  We objected to the application on a number of grounds including the failure of the proposed development to respect externally visible frontages of this heritage building, possible excessive noise, and parking and traffic pressures.

Cranmer Avenue Snooker Hall

There have been several recent applications in recent years for planning permission to develop the former snooker hall in Cranmer Avenue.  In May 2013, EFRA objected to the most recent application on the grounds of the layout, design and fit with the local surroundings, and the proposed non-residential use for the ground floor.  We had hoped the developer would follow the example of Windings Place, next door, and the Nodis Works in Julien Road and set the development back behind the established residential building line.

Reynard Mills Planning Appeal Result

The result of the Planning Inquiry into the proposed redevelopment of Reynard Mills was announced in March 2013.  The excellent news is that both the Secretary of State and the Planning Inspector endorsed Hounslow Council's refusal of the developer's second scheme for Reynard Mills.  While the Inspector was only asked to consider scheme two, many of the criticisms in his report could also apply to scheme three, the slightly smaller scheme which the developer submitted to Hounslow Council while the appeal on scheme two was in progress.

Chandos Avenue Planning Application

There is a planning application for a three-storey house in Chandos Avenue, behind the Pizza Hut on the corner of South Ealing Road.  After discussions with local residents, EFRA submitted an objection to the proposal on the grounds that it would constitute a material over-development of the site and would therefore be inappropriate.  It would have an adverse impact on the character of the local neighbourhood and on the amenity of existing and future residents.

Orion Park: Bike Training Facility - Planning Appeal

EFRA supported Ealing Council’s refusal to grant retrospective planning approval for motorbike training in Orion Park on the grounds that residents on the south side of Belsize Avenue, Mayo Court and Jefferson Close suffer
excessive amounts of noise and that motor bike training is an inappropriate activity for a residential area.
