Comment on this story on the

Ealing Council has granted permission for demolition to begin of the buildings on the Orion Park industrial estate.

There are current six small retail units at the front of the site and three large warehouses behind.

The applicant argued that the industrial estate built mainly in the fifties represented a ‘bad neighbour’ for nearby homes but the height of the main building in development will be significantly higher than others in the area which are predominantly two and three storey homes. The northern boundary of the triangular site will run along the rear gardens of homes on Belsize Avenue. To the east it is bounded by Northfield Avenue and the Piccadilly line to the south.

Permission for the development was granted back in February 2018 subject to conditions but the council has ruled that the project can proceed despite the delay.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

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.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
