A second attempt is being made to convert an office block in the centre of Ealing into flats.
An application (250258PACBSD) has been submitted for a change of use on five floors of Craven House on Uxbridge Road to allow conversion into 75 self-contained flats.
The identity of the applicant is not given on the documents published on Ealing Council’s web site although a postcode supplied is for the headquarters of estate agents Savills.
A previous application (243024PACBSD) submitted by Greeneedle Ltd sought permission for a change of use to convert the building to 81 flats. Council officers determined that prior approval would be unlawful and refused the application.
Craven House offered flexible office space with parking close to the junction with St. Leonard’s Road.
A decision is expected soon on plans for the nearby Exchange Plaza site where an application has been submitted for a 20-storey high student accommodation block.
