Ealing Council is proposing to demolish the two remaining public car parks in West Ealing and develop housing on the sites.

This will mean there will be no public car parks in the central West Ealing area as the multi-storey car park on Singapore Road was demolished in 2011.

The Dean Gardens site is to be turned into around 53 flats in three blocks eight, six and four storeys high. There will also be an 80sqm commercial unit on the corner of Broadway and Leeland Terrace. The council describes the flats planned as high-quality sustainable homes that could be a mixture of one, two and three bedroom properties.

There will be a re-provision of some of 50 public parking spaces that are currently on the site. The new flats will be car-free, with the exception of two wheelchair accessible spaces. In total the current proposal is for 17 parking spaces in Maitland Yard and 21 spaces to Dean Gardens. A car club is also expected to be proposed. The emerging proposals also include plans for 74 cycle spaces between the 3 blocks for new residents.

A web site has been set up with details of the Dean Gardens scheme and how you can comment.

The council aims to submit a planning application very shortly and start construction in Spring of next year if approval is granted.

At the Arden Road car park 31 units will be built in a nine storey tower.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
