London Borough of Ealing Property Strategy (2010) Executive Summary This consultation draft IDP is a working document and is subject to change. It represents the council’s current understanding of infrastructure issues. Anyone relying on or quoting from this document does so at their own risk. This is Version 1 of the Ealing Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) for Ealing, part of the Local Development Framework (LDF) evidence base. The production of an IDP is an implicit requirement of Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12)1; the LDF will not be found sound without a robust IDP. The IDP also has a corporate benefit in that it provides a spatial and demographic perspective to service planning and examines what infrastructure is needed, why, where and when it is needed, as well as how it will be funded and delivered. The IDP cuts across services and partners and has involved considerable consultation with these other organisations. The IDP also is closely related to other documents such as the Ealing Property Strategy. The IDP uses recent population projections to assess the infrastructure requirements over the lifetime of the LDF Development Strategy. As Ealing population projections are updated, these will be fed into future iterations of the IDP. The IDP covers a range of social infrastructure (education, health, culture, sports and leisure), green infrastructure (open space) and physical infrastructure (waste, energy, utilities, water & flooding, transport). This report includes the supply and demand analysis of infrastructure, including mapping, with an accompanying schedule which provides a summary of the infrastructure provision issues. Key risk analysis is provided at Figure 3 (section 2.4) of the main report and next steps for the IDP are set out in Section 2.5. A summary of the supply and demand analysis by type of infrastructure is provided below. Proposed infrastructure by area follows this. 1 “The core strategy should be supported by evidence of what physical, social and green infrastructure is needed to enable the amount of development proposed for the area, taking account of its type and distribution. This evidence should cover who will provide the infrastructure and when it will be provided.” ii Planned infrastructure provision by type: Primary Education • Additional 29-35 Forms of Entry (or FE, the unit by which school planning is measured by, with 1FE equating to 1 class of 30 pupils) needed by 2018, possibly rising to 31-35 by 2012 • Current planning is for an additional 16FE permanently across the borough and at least a further 9FE of temporary expansions. Plans for the permanent increase include plans for a new 2FE Catholic primary school in West Acton, due to open in 2012 • A contingency is included for an additional sites in Ealing • There is a key risk to delivering primary school places, as if birth rates continue to rise and demand for places within the borough increases, other areas within the Borough may need additional provision. This will be monitored regularly • The IDP and LB Ealing will also need to consider emerging models of primary provision, including parent-promoter schools, the re-use of buildings (commercial, employment), and providing schools in town centres. Secondary Education • Pupil projections indicate that an additional 9 FE will be needed by 2017/18, with 14FE by 2019/2020 • Ealing are currently planning for 16FE of extra provision through 8FE in a new school in Greenford, with 8FE in rebuild/remodel of existing schools. • The total cost of this programme was £276m against a funding allocation of £257m, planned to be delivered through the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme. At the time of writing, only two high schools are to progress under this scheme as the BSF programme has been cancelled. New sources of funding will now therefore need to be explored for the remaining school proposals. • The key risk in relation to secondary provision is with the uncertainty regarding birth rates, with the possibility that an additional secondary school may be required post 2018 if birth rates continue to rise at current rates. iii • The BSF programme is also important in delivering locations for other facilities – such as sports halls. As the BSF programme has been cancelled (other than for Cardinal Wiseman and Dormers Wells schools), new sources of funding will now need to be explored for additional sports provision which was to result from the BSF programme. Primary Health Care The need for new health services is driven by a number of factors. These include health inequalities across different parts of the borough, issues with the condition of current health infrastructure, and the changing health policy context. Current health policy promotes the development of community based health centres which provide a range of health services in addition to GP practices across a ‘localised network.’ Four such networks have been planned across the borough, specifically: • Southall – through the Jubilee Gardens facility, Featherstone facility, Southall Broadway health facility, and possibly a facility on the Southall Gasworks, to meet the needs of the new population. • Acton – via the Acton Integrated Health and Social Care Centre. • Ealing – through the development of the Integrated Care Organisation on the current Ealing Hospital site, future replacement of the Mattock Lane Health Centre and in the future possibly on other town centres sites. • Greenford, Northolt, Perivale – with health facilities at Grand Union Village and possibly the Westway Cross centre, and a site in North Northolt. The programme for primary health care will be delivered through a LIFT Company; the model used for primary and community healthcare facilities. Changes in future commissioning arrangements and proposed mechanisms for delivery will need to be taken into account in future iterations of this Plan. The Health section will therefore need updating following comprehensive spending review in Autumn 2010. Open Space • An Open Space / Green Infrastructure Strategy is currently underway, and will include a qualitative and quantitative audit of open space. • The Strategy element of the study will improve and increase the provision of open space in a number of ways: iv - continue to provide amenity space as part of new developments, through the Development Management Development Plan Document (DPD); - continue to protect existing open spaces through the LDF; - improve quality of existing open spaces through the Capital Programme; and, - where possible, create new open spaces and improve access to and between open spaces, e.g. through the Development Sites DPD (or Site Allocations DPD). The Open Space / Green Infrastructure Strategy is scheduled to be completed in time for the submission of the LDF. Swimming Pools • LB Ealing commissioned a Sport England Study to inform its Aquatic Strategy. There are currently 10 publicly accessible pools in the borough (4 council, 6 private) • The baseline study concludes that there is limited current capacity across the borough’s pools, with car accessibility good, but walking accessibility low. • In analysing the future demand for swimming pools, there is projected to be a relatively small increase in demand by 2021 (which equates to 30 per cent of a pool). This increase is as a result of both new population and internal demographic change. However the ageing population offsets new demand from new households to a certain extent. • Any potential rise in participation promoted by sports development policies are likely to have a greater impact on demand than demographic changes. • Planned new facilities include the redevelopment of pools at Acton and Gurnell pools. However this is replacement not new provision and will provide little change to capacity, and no change to accessibility. • There is therefore likely to be some unmet demand in the future. The Sport England study recommends that this be met by improving the management of current pools rather than through new provision. v Sports Halls • There are currently 12 publicly accessible sports halls (seven run by Active Ealing, two in partnership with GLL leisure, and three in secondary schools). • The baseline position shows that there is a current unmet demand (equivalent to 8 badminton courts), and only 57 per cent of use of sports halls by Ealing residents is retained in LBE. • The model projects a slight rise in demand by 2021, due to an increase in population, partly offset by an ageing population and therefore a reduction in demand. • In terms of the future supply of sports halls, five new sports halls were planned through the BSF programme at Cardinal Wiseman, Elthorne Park, Villiers, and Drayton Manor schools, as well as at the proposed new secondary school north of the borough. At the time of writing, the proposal for Cardinal Wiseman is to go ahead. New sources of funding will now need to be explored if the other four sports halls are to be delivered. • Some unmet demand will remain in the south-east of the borough or the Acton area. This equates to approximately five badminton courts. Libraries • Libraries are a statutory responsibility as well as a valued and useful community resource. There has been recent investment in nine of the borough’s 14 libraries, although there are still a number of libraries where investment or relocation would improve service, including Hanwell, Perivale, Southall and Acton. • The role and purpose of libraries is changing and a new library strategy needs to respond to this, which may include locating libraries in town centres, to co-locate with other services, and provide complimentary facilities and services. Transport • There are a number of challenges for the transport system, including supporting population and employment growth, especially in town centres and employment areas; improving public transport access in areas of poor accessibility and where there is congestion; improving efficiency and traffic flow, and reducing congestion. vi • Delivering transport infrastructure occurs through the Mayor’s Transport Strategy and includes Crossrail, High Speed 2, Piccadilly line upgrades, bus network improvements and road management.

  • To Download an Outline of Our Place Strategy
    Place Strategy Introduction W hy a strategy about ‘place’? Each borough, ward and street in London has its own identity and set of dynamics. When we talk about ‘place’ we mean focussing our work on specific localities, which allows us to start from young people’s lived experience in an area and consider the multiple factors that might affect their capacity to be creative. There is always change happening in the physical fabric of London, and with an ongoing picture of growth, we are seeing shifts in the identity of local areas and creation of new communities. This strategy will help us respond to these changes.

  • Collected Case Studies: Housing
    tt Collected case studies: Housing • Strategic site allocation and densification • Building new suburbs • Delivering housing across the UK This paper brings together a number of case studies on how cities from the UK and beyond have delivered housing where it is needed most There is now broad consensus that the UK needs to build more homes. But the need for new homes is far more acute in some places than in others, and housing in Britain’s most economically successful cities tends to be the least affordable. Our case studies show how cities are addressing these challenges by increasing the density of existing communities, evaluating land on its merits rather than its existing designation, and working with neighbourhood authorities. The case studies demonstrating how cities deliver housing and what they are trying to achieve are split into four groups: • Strategic site allocation and densification The UK needs to deliver more housing in high-demand areas where houses are least affordable. Cities need to work proactively with partners to strategically identify the sites appropriate for housing and, where appropriate, prepare the land to make them viable. • Building new suburbs Considering other available sites and not only favoring previously developed land can help the most successful cities provide the amount of homes they need. • Delivering housing across a region Cities in the UK and internationally are working with their neighbouring authorities to get the housing they need. 1 Centre for Cities Collected Case Studies • Housing • Influencing development using public assets Cities in which the private sector property market (residential or commercial) is stronger, can use their public asset base to influence how and what kind of development takes place in ways that align with their vision for the city.
