Application made for 882 new homes next to Sudbury Hill tube station

A planning application has been submitted for an 882-home development on a brownfield site beside Sudbury Hill tube station in west London. The land lies between the tube station and a former ten-storey office building already converted into housing. The proposal would build seven new blocks around the existing development, with ground-floor retail and cafe uses on blocks closest to the main road. Four blocks would be purely residential, including one co-living block with smaller private homes and shared amenities. Two other blocks would include residential units plus retail and community facilities. The scheme would provide 882 homes, including 407 market-sale homes, 135 affordable homes, and 304 co-living flats. Comments so far are largely negative, citing insufficient facilities, concerns about loss of green space, and worries about congestion despite a largely car-free design. The application is with Ealing Council.

"Other complaints say that the size of the development - next to an existing 10-storey building - is out of character for the area. Other objections claim that building housing next to a tube station will lead to additional road congestion, even though the development is largely car-free. The planning application for Park View Place is now with Ealing Council."
