Planning Applications

One of the most important of EFRA’s activities is to monitor, and respond to consultations on, the larger planning applications in our area.

We discuss these applications with the residents who are most closely affected and also assist them with their personal submissions to the Council’s planners.

EFRA is not opposed to developments but our submissions are informed by the view that the low rise and low density nature of our essentially Edwardian residential neighbourhood should be preserved.

Dear Ms Perry

Cranmer Avenue Snooker Hall Redevelopment Appeal Rejected

Earlier this year we reported on an application to build a 3-storey block of flats on the site of the snooker hall in Cranmer Avenue. The application was rejected by Ealing Council in May but the developer subsequently appealed to the Planning Inspectorate. EFRA worked with local residents, and prepared a detailed submission to the Planning Inspector, which is attached below. P1040276 Cranmer Av Snooker Hall small.jpg

Northfields Hostel

For the past several years an office block on Northfield Avenue, opposte the underground station, has been used as a hostel. Despite pressure from local residents and EFRA the building has never had planning approval for the change of use. The owners recently submitted a planning application for change of use, and EFRA has submitted its response.

Pickering House development approved

At their meeting on 30 June, Ealing Council Planning Committee approved the application to develop Pickering House by adding six extra flats within the extended roof space. The committee's discussions and decision are in the meeting minutes on the council web site.
EFRA had supported local residents in opposing the application.
