An estate in West Ealing, London, is to be transformed with high-quality new homes and community facilities after Ealing Council gave the green light to a massive £136m regeneration project.

The Green Man Lane estate regeneration team, which includes local housing provider A2Dominion, developer Rydon and architect Conran & Partners, was granted outline planning permission for the masterplan and detailed planning consent for phase one of the scheme.

Ealing Council's planning committee made its decision at a meeting on September 1, 2010.

Residents, neighbours and other stakeholders have worked for over a year with the regeneration team to help shape plans for the project, giving their input into a range of areas including design, community regeneration and neighbourhood management.

Demolition will get under way in early 2011 of the estate’s 464 existing homes and a multi-storey car park, to make way for the first of 706 new flats and houses for a mixture of affordable rent, shared ownership and outright sale.

Nicholas Yeeles, A2Dominion’s Executive Director (New Business), said: "This is fantastic news for local residents, who have worked hard over a long period of time to get the new high-quality homes they want and need. Our aim is to create a place where people feel proud and safe to be, and we feel confident that the regeneration will achieve this.

"However, this project will go far beyond simply providing new homes, with the creation of community facilities supporting the long-term sustainable revitalisation of this neighbourhood. We look forward to continuing to work with the local area as plans for this exciting project move forward."

The regeneration team has been working not just with the residents of Green Man Lane but the wider community as well, to ensure the whole of West Ealing benefits from the regeneration.
