Anyone who watched the Planning Committee "discussion" would not at all have been surprised at the outcome, some of the comments made were uninformed and crass beyond belief.ONE of the many problems with the Planning Committe is that to be a Member you need no qualificatuions or experience whatsoever, and it shows.Because you get stuck with a filthy polluting second Concrete Plant bang in the midst of a residential and co-called "Up And Coming Area". 

Rosco White ● 1913d

Totally agree. So disappointed too with the lack of support from Acton residents for something as important. Furthermore, how can the Council even consider building 900 plus new high rise flats on the Friary Park estate a few meters away?

Maria Pettit ● 1913d

I'm stunned - I just don't know how people can not care about the air quality/noise pollution that is going to affect the lungs and mental health of so many people in the neighbourhood. Really disappointed in the community - they didn't show up for us.

When a Planning Application to convert a Restaurant into a flat receives nearly 200 Objections in less than a week (L'Oriental, Churchfield Road), and this second, filthy, polluting monster struggles to achieve around 105 Objections in over one year, local residents in West Acton/Acton Mainline area get what they richly deserve.Apathy reigns, enjoy the noise, filthy air and constant lorry traffic folks. 👍

Rosco White ● 1914d

GRANTED by our wonderful Planning Committee!Slap bang in the middle of a residential area - outstanding!!!Acton has NO hope under the current attitudes prevailing at LBE.

Rosco White ● 1915d

I am sure it is worthwhile, if you copy and paste the reasons why it should not go ahead from the planning website and email the headteacher asking her and the parents to object, they may well take it up.  But you have to make it easy for people, so giving them a text they can use goes a long way.

Libby Kemp ● 2033d

Hello everyoneI was wondering whether you think it is worth contacting the nursery near the proposed site and local schools like West Acton Primary and St Vincents school and asking the headteachers whether they could get their pupil's parents to oppose too. Thank you

Rosco White ● 2034d

Rosco, could you write to the Chief Planning Officer  -  Scourfield and ask why the one Consultee comment is not available to the public? He almost certainly would not respond to me.

Libby Kemp ● 2035d

THANK YOU to all those who have recently gone Online and Objected. By sticking together and Objecting against these travesties continually foisted on us by our "caring" Council we can send them a clear message and hopefully stem the out of control planning lunacy.If you haven't Objected yet, please support your community and do so asap.Thank you.

Rosco White ● 2037d

Done.

Rosco White ● 2039d

I have posted this on Ealing Matters, please can someone else post on Nextdoor.

Libby Kemp ● 2040d

Please OBJECT to this farcical Planning Application, plenty of reasons are cited in existing Objections at :-https://pam.ealing.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=PQKPTOJMHE200&activeTab=summary

Rosco White ● 2040d

You can still please lodge an OBJECTION as this appalling Planning Application remains "Pending Consideration". Yes Dee, very high pollution generated from this Rail Goods Yard, so bung in another polluting source just to make sure it increases.

Rosco White ● 2055d

As I remember Rosco - this location has the 2nd highest recording of pm10 pollutants in London.And the Labour Council still does nothing about it!!!  Splashing water about doesn’t solve the problem.Perhaps the locals need to look up on the internet to see how these deadly pollutants kill you?  Not nice.

Dee Cook ● 2068d

Please Object.

Rosco White ● 2071d

No idea. I spent a LOT of time and effort campaigning when the first one was built (without Planning Permission!) and was underwhelmed when I spoke at Planning Committee, I recall Maire Lowe and Vlod Barchuk turned up, maybe one or two others. Need more community support if we want to stop travesties like this second concrete plant in a ridiculously small rail goods yard. In the midst of a residential area. 😕

Rosco White ● 2073d

Who is speaking at Planning Committee, or is going straight through on officer's recommendations?

Libby Kemp ● 2076d

Please assist by Objecting to this hideous, polluting proposal.

Rosco White ● 2077d

BUMP

Libby Kemp ● 2077d

This can still be OBJECTED to folks, if you haven't already, only takes a few minutes and you can glean Objection Points from previous Comments.One Concrete Plant in this tiny residential housing encircled Goods Rail Yard is enough, TWO is just ridiculous.

Rosco White ● 2078d

If you have Objected to the proposed Tower Blocks throughout northern Acton, OBJECTIONS can also still be lodged against this proposed ugly, noisy and polluting Concrete Plant.Objections will be logged and still considered, so PLEASE SUPPORT and STOP this ludicrous Planning Application, which will further pollute (Air and Noise) a residential area.Another Concrete Plant in this tiny, compact Goods Yard is not acceptable and just plain wrong. If you read through the existing Objections there are numerous example Objection Points you can use:-https://pam.ealing.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=PQKPTOJMHE200&activeTab=summaryThank you.

Rosco White ● 2189d

If you live anywhere near this intended blight, or have strong feelings against such polluting factories in residential areas, please OBJECT NOW.

Rosco White ● 2192d

And I have just extracted my digit and added mine.So 34 now.  :-)If Ealing Planning Department has even an ounce of common sense and so called town planning skills this Application should be Rejected outright. It's laughable that it is even being considered and wasn't summarily Rejected on Application.Or at the no doubt numerous secret meetings Quattro may have  had with Planning to get it "pre-approved"?

Rosco White ● 2194d

There are now 33 objections raised (and none in support).

Paul Webster ● 2194d

Ha Ha, I was waiting for that!I single handedly did a LOT of work, over YEARS, objecting to the current Concrete Plant, which is all documented and provable.  And I am tired from the complete apathy and lack of support in all matters concerning The Goods Yard in general.However, it is also well known that Objections are accepted and counted after the "official" closing date.  ;-)

Rosco White ● 2195d

Can't see your objection on the planning site Mr.White. I believe it closes this evening.

Libby Kemp ● 2195d

Beggars belief that Ealing's Planning Department can think it's OK to have TWO Concrete Batching Plants within the  confines of this small site, and in the midst of a residential area.Says it all really.

Rosco White ● 2195d

Bump. The official deadline for making objections is tomorrow. Very easy to make objections online and you can read objections already made for inspiration.

Vlod Barchuk ● 2195d

This shouldn't be in a residential area, but no doubt Ealing Council will allow it. Thanks for the heads up.
