Stage II referral to the Mayor of London; 2. Section 106 agreement; and 3. Planning Conditions of consent Executive Summary: The proposals comprise a detailed planning application for this 0.47 hectare site located in North Acton (East Acton Ward). The application site forms part of the site known as ‘The Perfume Factory’ and is owned by the applicant, Essential Living. The land immediately to the south also forms part of the ‘Perfume Factory’, is owned by Imperial College which is subject of a separate planning application for its redevelopment under LPA Reference 172682FUL which was granted conditional planning permission with the associated S.106 agreement, issued in December 2017. The combined ‘Perfume Factory’ site was subject of planning application ref: PP/2015/4551 which proposed a high density residential led mixed use redevelopment of the site. A resolution to grant planning permission was made at planning committee in February 2016. Negotiations stalled on the Section 106 agreement and the application was not referred to the Mayor at Stage 2. Subsequently the site was split and the southern part (0.73 hectares) sold to Imperial College and the northern element retained by Essential Living. In February 2018, the Council refused planning permission for a scheme that was substantially the same as this re-submission, although for 390 dwelling units. The refusal was issued based on the sub-standard sizes of 20 studio units. The applicant has submitted an appeal against the decision. The current application seeks to rectify the refusal reason by re-designing the scheme to reduce numbers to 380 overall and for those 20 studio units to be changed into 10 x 2 bed dwellings to ensure that all dwellings meet the adopted floor space standards. The existing site comprises a 2 storey building which is locally listed (non-designated heritage asset) and occupies much of the development site which was originally built as part of a cosmetics factory for Elizabeth Arden. The application red line boundary includes the access road and the existing building on the Imperial College site as these are required to enable delivery of the scheme. The area that would be covered by the subject application works and are within the Applicant’s ownership, the ‘development area’, is smaller at 0.44 hectares. Page 2 of 55 Planning Committee 23/05/2018 Schedule Item No. 03 The application site is located within the boundary of the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) which is the planning authority for the area. Under the adopted scheme of delegation, LB Ealing Council will continue to determine applications in the area around Noth Acton, including the application site. The Site lies within the Old Oak and Park Royal Opportunity Area, at the eastern edge of the ‘Southern Gateway’ to Park Royal, as identified in Ealing’s Development (or Core) Strategy and Development Sites DPDs. The site occupies a prominent position close to the intersection of Wales Farm Road and Victoria Road and is located within approximately 160m of North Acton underground station. The site has a PTAL rating of 5 (‘Very Good’). The site is bounded by Wales Farm Road (A4000) to the west, the central line railway lines to the north, the Victoria Industrial Estate to the east and the Imperial College element of the site to the south which would act as a buffer to the nearby residential properties at Conway Grove to the south. The surrounding area contains a wide mix of land uses including residential, commercial and retail. Immediately west of the application site there have been a number of recent developments comprising predominantly residential uses in the form of apartments and student accommodation. The scheme would comprises three residential blocks with active ground floor uses to provide 380 residential units comprising 66 No. studios, 190 No. 1 bed, 104 No. 2 bed and 20 No. 3 bedrooms and 1,403 sq.m of flexible commercial floorspace comprised of classes A1/A2/A3/A4/A5/B1/D1/D2: Block A: 16 storeys with 291 sq.m flexible commercial floorspace; Block B: 25 storeys and 12 storeys with 310 sq.m flexible commercial floorspace; and Block C: 14 storeys with 748 sq.m flexible commercial floorspace. A series of public and communal amenity spaces. Internal amenity space to be provided in Blocks A and B which would comprise lounge, fitness centre, quiet space and a study, whilst external amenity space would be formed of open landscaped terraces and small allotments for residents to use. 159 sq.m of external play space will be provided on the roof of the podium level, whilst the extensive public realm will also include informal play areas. The majority of units would be provided with private external amenity space in the form of balconies, apart from the upper levels of Block B where additional internal amenity space would be provided. Residents of these units would be able to utilise the communal areas. A high quality public realm will be provided with extensive landscaping and seating, and with active frontages and outdoor seating for the commercial units. Car parking for 16 vehicles (including 2 disabled spaces), plant, refuse storage and servicing. Cycle parking for 552 bicycles comprising 504 long stay and 10 short stay visitors for the residential accommodation and 7 long stay and 31 short stay for the commercial uses. Residential cycle parking would be provided at mezzanine floor level and would be accessible via lifts. Covered commercial long-stay cycle parking spaces and visitor spaces would be provided at ground floor level. Vehicle access to the site would be from Wales Farm Road and would be to the south of the site, shared with the adjoining Imperial College development. This Page 3 of 55 Planning Committee 23/05/2018 Schedule Item No. 03 access road would be used to access the car park, the new layby and servicing bay, in order to facilitate deliveries and waste collection. Residential and commercial waste stores would be provided for each Block at ground floor level.

  • North Acton to Denham (Report to Standing Joint Committee Respecting
    NORTH ACTON TO DENHAM (REPORT TO STANDING JOINT COMMITTEE RESPECTING THE WEST LONDON ELECTRIFICATION) Dated 22 January 1937 With reference to Standing Joint Committee Minutes Nos. 97, 107 and 236(F), further consideration has been given jointly by the Officers of the Great Western Company, the London and North Eastern Company and the London Passenger Transport Board to the scheme for improving the rail facilities in the above area by widening the line between North Acton and Denham and electrifying the new tracks. The Committee will remember that the scope of the original scheme was, by agreement, extended from Northolt to Ruislip (GW&GC Joint) and included in the programme of new works to be carried out under the provisions of the London Passenger Transport (Agreement) Act of 1935. Later, consideration was given to the desirability of further extending the scheme to Denham, in consequence of the recent developments in the Cinema Film industry at that place and other general development. As a result it is now jointly recommended that the scheme should include Denham and the Standing Joint Committee on 14 September 1936 authorised the promotion of a Bill by the Great Western Company in the ensuing session of Parliament for that purpose. The complete programme of works is therefore: 1. The widening of the line from two to four tracks between North Acton (GW) and Denham (GW&GC Joint). 2. The electrification of the new lines on the low voltage, fourth rail system. 3. The projection over the new lines of a proportion of the Board’s trains from the Central London line, thus placing Denham, Ruislip, Northolt, Greenford and intermediate stations in direct rail communication with the West End and City.

The Panel is recommended to: - consider and comment on the information provided on Recommendations: rail connectivity in the borough; - identify areas for further review at future meetings; and - make suggestions for further improvements where necessary. Page 1 of 15 1. Background 1.1 Ealing has quite an extensive rail and Underground (Tube) network predominately arranged on a radial basis to and from central London. The Central, District and Piccadilly lines as well as the Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect, Great Western Railway, Chiltern and London Overground all serve stations within the borough. However, whilst there are strong east-west, radial connections, there are limitations on north-south, orbital connections to other parts of west London to and from Ealing. The network coverage is best in the east and central of the borough with most of these areas being within a 12 minute walk (960 metres) of at least one station.

  • THE CENTRAL LINE EXTENSIONS and THEIR IMPLEMENTATIONS by Eric Stuart BACKGROUND Until the Industrial Revolution, Cities Tended to Be Small
    THE CENTRAL LINE EXTENSIONS AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATIONS by Eric Stuart BACKGROUND Until the Industrial Revolution, cities tended to be small. After all, most people had to walk everywhere. With the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, cities began to boom and grow. This growth precipitated and enabled mechanical means to allow people to get around. Railways enabled people to make a step-change (excuse pun) increase in distance travelled – mostly for work, but also for leisure. Tramways and buses increased this mobility. In London, the underground and tube railways allowed movement within the central area. By the 1930s, the population of inner London had largely stabilised, but that of outer London was increasing. With improved housing in reality and the desire to own a home with a garden, the outer suburbs were growing. Bearing in mind the low car ownership until the 1950s, there was a need for good public transport links to the new and growing suburbs. THE PLAN Thus was born the 1935 New Works Programme for London railways. Whereas the Southern Railway had continued and expanded the electrification plans of its constituents, the three other railway companies serving the capital had not instituted any of the plans for electrification that they had. This had been hindered by the recession of the 1920s and 1930s. The New Works Programme would thus provide employment and meet a foreseen transport need by electrification of some existing lines and in the building of others. Although the Metropolitan and District Railways had extended into the country, what are now the ‘tube’ lines had projected no further than Ealing, Edgware, Enfield and Morden.

  • Station Codes
    Three Letter Abbreviations – Station Codes The table below shows all the different systems/business units which use a TLA to identify a station. It maps each station to each TLA in each system. This list was first compiled in 2012 and it reveals that there are several duplications and alternates due to a legacy of business units acting independently. As the codes are used in a wide range of information systems, many of which are externally owned, it is not practical to change them. In the event of a new station being commissioned which requires a new code please contact the LU Head of Engineering Information The rules for assigning a new TLA are described in the LU Location Coding System Standard S1035 Key: Green = Unique. Everyone uses this code for this station and the code is unique, i.e. not used elsewhere for another station. Amber = Alternates Exist. More than one code exists for this station, but this code is still unique. Red = Duplicates Exist. This code is used for more than one station.
