First Image Of How New Ealing Council Building Could Look

£275m redevelopment of Perceval House will also have flats, shops and new library

This CGI image above is how Perceval House could look by 2025.

Developers Galliford Try Partnerships has signed an agreement with Ealing Council to create a new mixed-use scheme at Perceval House, delivering 470 new homes, alongside council offices and other community facilities. 

The proposed development, worth an estimated £275m, includes 50 per cent affordable homes, with more than half of these homes provided at social rent and London living rent.

Additionally, the plans include a new council headquarters building, a new library and customer services centre, new retail premises and residential and commercial parking areas. 

Galliford Try Partnerships and the Council will now consult the local community and key stakeholders on the proposals, before a planning application is submitted later this year.

The construction of the new civic centre comes at no cost to council tax payers as the receipts from the sale of the land and residential units will offset the cost of building the new headquarters.

Councillor Julian Bell, leader of Ealing Council said: “Our offices are in a key town centre location, but at the moment we aren’t making the best use of this important site.

“These plans will deliver much needed genuinely affordable homes in our town centre, supporting our pledge of 2,500 new homes.  At no cost to the council, it will also provide us with a brand new customer service centre and library, and a smaller, more modern and cheaper to maintain and run office block.”

Stephen Teagle, Chief Executive of Galliford Try Partnerships, said: “We are very pleased to have reached this stage and look forward to working with the Council on this high-quality mixed-use scheme. It will make a significant contribution of affordable homes to the borough and will also provide a range of retail and commercial benefits. Our London Business Unit is currently working on a number of major regeneration projects throughout the capital and we look forward to using this expertise here in Ealing.”

It is anticipated that the scheme will be completed by 2025, subject to planning consent.
