To make Ealing a better place to live. To make Ealing one of the safest places in London. To reduce health inequalities and promote well-being

and independence for adults and older people. To ensure that there are opportunities for all people

and for business to prosper. To create a great place for every child and young

Underpinning the vision is a commitment by all partners to act according to three values: equality and fairness, engaging and enabling, and value for money. These values are also central to the delivery of the spatial vision for Ealing.”

MC27 1.1 (a) Amend text as follows: “and provide up to 150,000 128,400 gross sqm of new retail floorspace.”

To provide better clarity in response to a review of retail need figures arising from GLA rep 198/686.

MC34 1.1 Amend the supporting text on P.18, Para.3 as follows: “there is demand for up to 150,000 128,400 gross sq metres of new retail….”

Employment land (including office and industrial uses) will be categorised for short, medium or long-term protection. long-term protection, medium-term release over time, and short-term release to allow for managed release of some employment sites.”

To provide better clarity. Whilst the policy exists to establish the spatial programme for development in the Borough and the policy as drafted fulfils this objective it is acknowledged that better signposting to the DM DPD is appropriate as this contains a policy which allows for economic testing of employment sites which would support the interpretation of the policy.

MC40 1.2 (b) Amend second paragraph of the supporting text as follows: To provide better clarity. Whilst the policy exists to establish the



“Managed release of employment sites will involve categorising employment sites into three broad categories:

• Long-term protection – Strategic Industrial Locations (SILs) and Locally Significant Industrial Sites (LSISs) comprise the borough’s strategic employment land and are the These sites are the core employment sites which should be the borough’s primary focus for general industrial and warehousing land. Where appropriate, these sites may also accommodate office development.

• Medium-term protection release – These sites are most likely to Smaller sites that may have conflicts with neighbouring uses and to be lost over time. To achieve the efficient use of land these will be protected by criteria-based development management policies, allowing release to non-employment uses only if a lack of demand is demonstrated.

• Short-term protection release – These sites Sites that have either been lost to residential or have been so diluted by other uses to no longer qualify as protected function effectively as employment land. Where appropriate, these will be allocated for alternative use through the Development Sites DPD" as the final sentence.

Proactive management of SILs and LSIS’s will involve the limited transfer of 14 hectares to mixed use development over the plan period, coordinated through the Development Sites DPD.

MC42 1.2 (d) Amend the supporting text as follows: "HS2 will provide a link with the Crossrail service on the Great Western Main Line and a fast link to Heathrow via the existing Heathrow Express service. The route would then continue on a widened Chiltern Line route through the borough alongside the Central Line London Underground service. Proposals for HS2 may offer a variety of opportunties for Ealing if the project goes ahead. The route as currently proposed is likely to connect with CrossRail at Old Oak Common before traversing the Borough via the Chiltern Line alongside the Central Line London Underground. HS2 will inform land use plans when the scheme is finalised."

To update the reference to reflect the latest position with regards to High Speed 2 (HS2).

MC43 1.2 (d) Delete text in footnote 31 as follows: “TfL are preparing a Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) for this. A protocol with Boroughs is also being developed out of this work.

To update the reference and acknowledge that the GLA’s Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) “Use of planning obligations in the funding of Crossrail” has now been adopted.

MC44 1.2 (g) Amend supporting text as follows: “In West London, six Boroughs have joined together to plan for the management of future waste. The plan West London Waste Plan (WLWP) aims to will identify and safeguard sufficient sites to deal with this waste for waste management facilities in the area to satisfy the waste apportionment targets established in the London Plan (and its draft replacement). The plan aims to maximise the use of the existing sites in the area, including changing some waste transfer sites into waste management sites. London Plan policy 4A.22 and replacement policy 5.17H requires boroughs to safeguard

To update the reference and acknowledge progress towards the WLWP.



existing waste management sites. This policy will be applied in Ealing unless the impact from continuing waste operations is considered to be unacceptable and alternative sites of an equivalent compensatory nature can be secured. In addition, the plan recognises the need to identify a number of new sites in the area to satisfy the apportionment target. The WLWP will also comprise policies to guide/manage the determination of planning applications for waste management facilities. It will devise policy that will help implement site development and awareness of sustainable waste management. The most recent information from official sources showed that West London currently produces just over two million tonnes of municipal and commercial waste each year. This waste comes from homes, businesses, hospitals and other facilities. It is expected that this amount will increase to 2.11 million tonnes by 2026. At the moment 70% is transferred to sites outside London.”

MC45 1.2 (i) Amend third sentence of the supporting text as follows:”In 2009/10, twelve EVCP were installed in four car parks across Ealing and there are plans to install a further five points in the Borough by the end of 2010/11.

To provide better clarity as specific information is no longer needed for the Final Submission document.

MC46 1.2 (j) Amend supporting text as follows : “Although Ealing is identified in the London Plan as a borough with remaining aggregate reserves resources in London, the location of these reserves in sensitive localities means that it is highly unlikely that Ealing will be able to contribute to meeting the supply of land won aggregates in West London. A number of sites in the Osterley area of the borough were identified

To provide better clarity and ensure the policy reflects the revised regional policy position. Furthermore “reserves” implies amounts of aggregates with planning permission – i.e. ‘permitted reserves’. If minerals are known to be present but extraction has not been permitted then these should be referred to as “resources”.



as having un-worked reserves, although it is proposed that none of these sites be taken forward for mineral workings because of their existing open space status, their heritage value, and their strategic role for sports/recreation. Furthermore, the council notes that there are significant un-worked aggregate reserves in neighbouring West London boroughs. The council will however continue to ensure that the distribution of aggregates throughout the borough is done so through the most sustainable methods, and with minimal impact on the environment and the amenity of its residents.”

Various options are currently being explored, including: * in a limited number of cases, the identification of new public open space – with sites/areas being identified in the Development Strategy (at present this includes Southall Gas Works and the Southern Gateway sites, and potentially Twyford Abbey); * in appropriate circumstances, the reclassification of Community Open Space as Public Open Space; * physical works to improve access to existing spaces; and * enhancement of existing space (such improvements may allow for the re-categorisation of existing open space in respect of where they fit in the hierarchy (and if appropriate in terms of size and deficiency). Consideration will also be given to the need for additional allotment space.”
