Councillors' Anger Over Accusations of Planning Bias
Picking up on the Ealing Today article dated 26 May 16 “Councillors' Anger Over Accusations of Planning Bias” and specifically looking at what Councillor Lauren Wall was reported to have said (i.e., ''The report to planning committee members … states, ‘two storey flat roofs are not uncharacteristic of this conservation area with original and modified examples to late Victorian and Edwardian properties evident on Manor Court Road, Church Road and Campbell Road.’”), I couldn’t help but notice that she’d omitted the word, and to my mind it is rather crucial – ‘side’. Anyway, I was intrigued so yesterday I walked the length and breadth of Manor Court Road, Church Road and Campbell Road in search of examples of the two storey flat roofs, original or modifications to late Victorian and Edwardian properties. I couldn’t find one… but admittedly, I was looking for two storey flat roof side extensions to late Victorian and Edwardian properties as that is, after all, what this dispute is all about.I did find one property at 28 Manor Court Road with a two storey flat roof side extension but it was a modification to a post WW2 mock Tudor property. There were quite a few single storey flat roof side extensions – most of which were garages – particularly in Manor Court Road. There was another two storey flat roof side extension in Church Road at the Bunny Park end, but again, it was to a post WW2 house.I wonder does the Report that Councillor Lauren Wall referred to actually give the addresses of the examples to which it refers?
