Planning Applications2018 and Enforcement Reports Planning Services submitted reports in relation to the following planning applications for determination by the Committee: ITEM 01 - Application in respect of Ealing Field’s School, Evershed Sports Ground, Wyke Gardens, Hanwell, W7 2BB. (Ward: Elthorne) Proposal: Continued use of the sports pavilion and northern part of grounds (use class D2) for temporary school use (Use Class D1) until August 2020; retention of two no. two-storey temporary modular units for school use (Use Class D1) and associated hardstanding, MUGA, fencing, refuse and cycle storage units until August 2020; installation of a two-storey temporary modular unit for school use (Use Class D1) until August 2020, with associated ramp and stepped building access, refuse and cycle storage units, fencing and hardstanding. Alan Corcoran, (Planning Officer) introduced the application and referred members to the additional information provided in the briefing note. The Committee was recommended to approve the application. Margaret Majumdar, spoke on behalf of Boston Manor Residents Association, in objection to the application. She spoke as Chair of the Residents Association, which she explained had 700 members and was over 50 years old. She stated the main objections to the application were in relation to overcrowding on the Eversheds site and the traffic and parking implications for local residents. She felt the Planning Officer’s reduction of 112 letters of objection to three lines of summary in the report was inadequate, as it had left out many of the reasons for objections, and amounted to contempt for the concerns of those affected by the application. The Eversheds grounds, south of the existing buildings, were 200 metres long and 75 metres wide. The application proposed to divide the length of the site by a fence south of the new temporary building. She felt that to place 480 pupils plus staff in daily occupation of such a small campus would be unacceptable overcrowding. In addition, she said residents felt they had been deceived by the Council and the school in relation to the use of the site. Residents had accepted the original application for use of the site for two years, as it was time-limited, to end in July 2018, and for 240 pupils.
