Site constraints 10

Ealing Town Centre conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Heritage at risk: Ealing Town Centre, Ealing
On the register of historic places assessed as at risk.
A designated building, monument, park or conservation area assessed as at risk from neglect, decay or development. Proposals that secure its future are looked on favourably.
Historic England ↗

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.

Town centre: Ealing
A designated centre in the London Plan.
Shops, services and active frontages are protected in centres, and main town centre uses are steered here first.

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
Registered park or garden 195 m away: Walpole Park; 1 listed building within 150 m; Inside the Ealing built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 6a (excellent), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square.
