Central Ealing Neighbourhood Forum

Ealing Conservation Area wins national acclaim

23/10/2018

0 Comments

 
The Brentham Garden Estate has been recognised as one of the top ten Conservation Areas in England. This comes soon after Ealing Council passed plans to cut its Conservation Officer post, despite Neighbourhood Plan conservation policies adopted only last December.

In a national poll by Civic Voice, which represents 75,000 individual members in 275 civic groups, Brentham ranked number nine.  The vote was part of The Big Conservation Conversation to raise awareness about areas of historic interest and encourage communities to celebrate and protect those at risk.

The Central Ealing Neighbourhood Forum has congratulated Brentham on its success. Forum Chair Tony Miller said: “This underlines the importance of Conservation Areas to a thriving local community. Our CAs are among the features which give Ealing its special identity and a sense of place, making it an attractive area to live, work and visit.”

​Brentham has benefitted from conservation policies which have protected and enhanced its special style and spaces.  “This demonstrates the importance of having a specialist Conservation Officer to advise planners,” said Tony.

Council approves new period for Forum

17/10/2018

0 Comments

 
Ealing Council Cabinet agreed at its meeting on Tuesday 16 October  to a five-year extension of the mandate for CENF, a year after the successful referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan. 

The report to Cabinet noted that a correctly prepared application and supporting documents had been received by the Council in  June  A public consultation was subsequently run for 6 weeks from 6 July to 17 August. A total of 23 responses were received, 21 of which supported the redesignation of the Forum for another 5-year period,  There were no objections.

Given the positive response to the consultation and the lack of any changes to the Forum boundary, which coincides with the adopted Central Ealing Neighbourhood Plan, it was recommended and Cabinet agreed to the redesignation of the Forum.

The Forum will now  concentrate on monitoring application of the Plan, and working to implement its projects, as agreed at the last open meeting (see previous blog).

Open Forum meeting agrees targets

17/10/2018

​Supporters had their say on implementing the Neighbourhood Plan at the Forum’s Open Meeting on 11 October. The discussion looked at what the Plan priorities are, who will carry the out, and how they will be paid for.

The Forum Chair, Tony Miller, said that the two main tasks were monitoring how the plan's policies were applied when new planning applications were made, and working to get our projects, called 'Recommended actions' in the Plan,  put  into effect.

The management committee is already looking at new planning applications as they are submitted. More importantly, we now have a chance of engaging developers in discussions before plans reach the stage of being formally submitted.  We 
Town Council. We aim to have talks with Galliford Try, Ealing's partners in the redevelopment of the Perceval House site, before they are  
too far advanced.

The meeting also looked at the list of projects (listed below), which we now aim to get included in the Council's list of infrastructure over the next five and more years.  While a few can hopefully be paid for from funds allocated from levies on 
development ,l other sources of finance will also have to be found. Options were the creation of a charitable trust fro some projects, and the creation of a Town Council with its own power to raise money. More work is to be done on these optio
ns.
