SAVE 178
YOUR COMMUNITY URGENTLY NEEDS YOUR HELP
Dear Neighbours
You may not be aware that a 1912 Arts & Crafts house at 178 Church Road, Hanwell W7 3BP is at risk of demolition to build six flats and two houses. This loss and over development will have lasting impacts.
If we fail to protect our conservation area, it will be devalued and a worrying precedent will be set for similar schemes. Thanks to the fantastic efforts of local people and a proactive community campaign, we had an amazing 163 responses to the developer’s planning application. These include the Ealing Civic Society, the Victorian Society, Hanwell Community Forum, conservation area resident associations, the Brent River & Canal Society, Hanwell and Canals Conservation Areas Advisory Panel and the Selborne Society. The many objections and quality feedback have caused the developers to re-think their proposal.
An amended application has now been submitted and we would really appreciate your help to object.
If we can raise a similar number of responses, there is the possibility that the proposal may be referred to the Planning Committee for a decision. This will give us an opportunity to save 178 Church Road from demolition and to prevent over development and backland housing. We also have support from Ward Councillors and James Murray, MP for Ealing North, has lodged his own objection.
The proposal remains to build six flats and two semi-detached houses on a very long, narrow plot. Their overbearing mass, inappropriate scale and loss of 26 mature trees/greenery will result in 80% of the land comprising bricks and mortar. The pandemic has taught us that having a neighbourly community which looks out for each other, retains its green spaces, celebrates and protects its heritage is vital for our wellbeing and that of future generations.
