Described as, 'tallest, widest, bulkiest, ugliest proposed building Hanwell has ever seen'
CGI of the building
The “tallest, widest, bulkiest, ugliest proposed building Hanwell has ever seen” has been given the go ahead by Ealing Planning.
At a meeting last night (Wednesday 21 June) the vote to allow the development of 7 three-bed townhouses and a 6 storey block comprising 36 flats on the site of the former Peugeot car showroom on Uxbridge Road went through by one vote.
The above quote was from Cllr Peter Mason who, along with Joanna Camadoo, attended the meeting at the town hall. After the narrow vote result Mr Mason tweeted,
During the meeting he’d spoken about how he thought the development was ‘overbearing’, ‘wholly inappropriate’ with a ‘detrimental effect’ on the area.

Ann Molloy added, “My child will not be able to go to the bathroom in his underpants ‘cos people in the new block will be able to see him”
Other developments in the pipeline include Lou Hanwell’s plans for Hanwell High Street by Lidl, a rumoured plan for Pochpac on Uxbridge Rd by the Viaduct pub plus plans at the site currently occupied by Wickes.
Carolyn Brown from Hanwell Community Forum told me “We support redevelopment of the Peugeot site, but this is wholly inappropriate.”
