2nd June 2016:- SEC calls on councillors to correct problems with planning in Ealing.
SEC has now written formally to Ealing Councillors as a result of The Secretary of State's call-in for the 9-42 development and asking "what is going wrong" with the council planning functions and waht they, as councillors, should be doing?
The full text of the letter can be seen HERE and there is also a report on the Ealing Today site HERE
Save Ealing’s Centre is very concerned with the way The London Borough of Ealing (LBE) planning department have handled this application. Although not within Ealing town centre, where our operations are normally centred, it is however within an area covered by three of our member organisations, the Kingsdown Residents’ Association (KRA), the Walpole Residents’ Association (WRA) and West Ealing Neighbours (WEN)
The planning department’s conduct in this matter, were it to be repeated, has implications for planning across the whole borough, and it is primarily for this reason that we have chosen to comment.You can see the full text of our Press Release HERE

There are serious concerns over the height of the building, its position so close to the junction with St Leonard's Road and right up to pavement boundary and it's proximity to the listed Ealing Fire Station.
We will keep you informed via this web page.

29th April 2015: Latest on the cinema and adjacent sites and the Compulsory Purchase Order
A three week public inquiry recently examined LBE's proposals to
compulsorily purchase the old Empire Cinema plus other land
including the YMCA
building on Bond Street and Flava’s bar fronting Ealing
Green. The
Council says that after teaming up with Land Securities, the
UK’s biggest
property company, it wants the land for an 8 screen cinema, 161 flats
and
restaurants.
Having
demolished their old
cinema leaving a vacant site since 2009, Empire Cinema say they still
want to
proceed with their longstanding plans for a 20 screen cinema complex.
Originally,
SEC supported
the principle of the CPO as the most likely way to bring a cinema back
to
Ealing. But as Ealing’s plans evolved it became
clear there were many
serious disadvantages to what they proposed. There would be widespread
damage
to Ealing’s historic character and early promises for other
arts and leisure uses
on the site disappeared from the final scheme.
Will French, explained to the Inquiry Inspector that SEC had therefore withdrawn our original support for the CPO.
SEC's statement given at this meeting can be seen HEREFull page views of the two proposed schemes are available HERE
