CIL S106 The proposed development will be subject to The planning permission is subject to the following indexed CIL contributions, chargeable on the net index-linked financial contribution as outlined in additional floorspace at the following rate: the Section 106:

• Mayoral CIL: £602,048.97 • Total financial contributions up to: £753,892.51 Western Avenue CGI (2019) - Concept View FURTHER DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL The site is in a prominent gateway position and offers a landmark architectural opportunity which will contribute to the cluster of tall buildings adjacent, which have achieved heights of up to 57 storeys. Opportunity exists to enhance the existing consent through value engineering such as removing the basement parking and adding further storeys to the current massing configuration. Alternatively, there is an opportunity to intensify the massing through a comprehensive redesign.

The site has been subject to a number of pre- application design team meetings with LB Ealing in 2018 and 2019, relating to revised proposals for the site designed by award winning architects, Farrells. The most recent iteration of the scheme discussed proposes approximately 380 units in a development of between 6 and 32 storeys in height, extending to approximately 38,000 sqm GEA. A planning summary of the pre-application work is available on the dataroom.

Discussions also included facilitating, in conjunction with the 4 Portal Way development, a pedestrian bridge across the A40 to create significantly improved linkages between the new developments around North Acton and Acton Central to the south.
