Plans (261463FUL) have been submitted to Ealing Council for an 882 unit development near Greenford Road on a disused car park.
Park View Place is a proposed 2.8-hectare residential-led mixed-use development immediately south of Sudbury Hill Underground Station which sits on the Piccadilly line. The proposals include plan for conventional flats and co-living units to transform the area into a high ‑ density residential neighbourhood with new public spaces, pedestrian routes and community facilities.
The tallest buildings which are nearer the station could reach up to 16 storeys high with heights reducing towards Greenford Road.
If approved, 542 flats would be built ranging in size from one to three bedrooms. Of these. 407 would be sold at market rate and 135 would be listed as affordable – falling short of the 35 per cent affordable homes expectation.
Alongside the standard housing, the project includes 340 co-living units. A co-living unit is similar to student accommodation in that tenants have their own bedroom and bathroom, but share living spaces and kitchens.
To encourage the establishment of a new community, the development focuses on creating active ground floor frontages for daytime and evening use. Amenities include retail and commercial units, a café, and a new community centre.
A central component of the design is the inclusion of publicly accessible open space. The landscaping plans include a new pedestrian connection to Grove Farm Park via a route across Costons Brook. There would also be dedicated children’s play spaces.
The site previously received planning approval between 2020 and 2022 for a total of 558 homes across its northern and southern halves. However, a review of those older consents revealed several issues impacting deliverability, such as varying building heights, a mix of materials, differing internal layouts, and single staircase (which is too few under new regulations).
So far, all comments on the application are objections, with over 19 people registering their opposition to the development. A majority of people raise concerns about the scale of the development and the perceived increased pressure on local roads and services.
One resident commented: “This proposal is entirely inappropriate for the location and demonstrates a complete disregard for the existing pressures already affecting local residents. The area is already heavily congested on a daily basis, with traffic levels that are difficult to manage even before introducing an additional population of well over 1,000 new residents.
"The local road infrastructure is simply not capable of supporting development on this scale. Equally concerning is the completely inadequate parking provision being proposed.
“A development of this magnitude with minimal parking spaces will inevitably force hundreds of additional vehicles into surrounding residential streets, creating unsafe conditions, obstructing access for emergency services, and causing significant disruption to current residents who already struggle with parking availability.”

The consultation is currently live, and is expected to conclude on Friday, 22 May.
