The Public Inquiry into the development at 9-42 The Broadway, which was due to start next Tuesday 9 May, has been cancelled after developers Benson Elliot withdrew. Their planning application, originally approved by Ealing Council and the London Mayor, had been 'called in' by the Secretary of State for re-examination after strong opposition from local groups and from Historic England, concerned about the adverse effect on central Ealing's Conservation Area.
It is understood that BE have sold the whole site to British Land, who already own the aneighbouring Ealing Broadway Centre. BL are now expected to review the plan and come up with new proposals which would not meet the same objections as both the two previous Council-backed schemes. The policy vision of the new Central Ealing Neighbourhood Development Plan will also be a key factor.
