Topic: Why are we being ignored?
Posted by: Hasan Ukra
Date/Time: 12/10/11 10:49:00

I am failing to understand why Acton residents are being ignored. What has happened over the past few months has been plagued with injustices and no one is being held accountable. I will attempt to summarise some of these points that were captured in the many complaints and were very apparent in the improper handling of this case by Ealing Council’s Planning Department.

1)  There was inadequate consultation of the proposal at the outset and only a few houses were originally notified raising many question marks

2)   Failure to disclose the true intended use of the proposed development by agreeing to the applicants' request not to disclose the full details of the intended use - illustrating the reluctance of the Council to make it clear to neighbours that Ex-Offenders, Mental Patient referrals, Drug Abusers and Prostitutes (Sex Workers) were going to be given temporary accommodation at the 24/7 Hostel in half of a pair of semi-detached private houses either side of No. 51 and No.57 Friars Place Lane. Furthermore, there was no notification of the Nursery Building, an essential part of the project so that children could be accommodated whilst their mothers are receiving treatment - thus it seems that the developers and the Planning Department are operating a mode of "planning by stealth".

3)  Lack of Proper Plans which did not even include a full Site Layout Plan showing the relationship with neighbouring properties in both roads or the details of the proposed internal layout showing the proposed 9 Bedrooms for 19 persons or the Treatment and Training Rooms, not to mention the Nursery Building, etc.  Why did the Council not request proper Plans showing all of the proposed development?

4)  The Council's acceptance of Plans without any information on the Trees in both of the gardens of Nos. 53 & 55. No Trees are shown on the hopelessly inadequate Plans and no Tree Survey was submitted as required by the official Government Information Requirements & Validation Guidance (March 2010). Why did the Council not request proper Plans showing the Trees?

5)  Did not the case officer Andrew Vaughan pay a site visit and see that there were Trees on site, which means he must have known that Section 15 of the Application (Trees declaration) had been falsely completed in that the applicants stated that there are no trees whatsoever on site?

6)  Why didn't Andrew Vaughan raise this matter before he wrote his 27-page Report to Committee fully recommending the Hostel in these two properties which even Ms Edmondson herself now admits are "inappropriate"?

7)  Why were there no Plans for the 24/7 Nursery Building to be built in the back garden area of Nos. 53 & 55 which is openly mentioned in the applicants' fundraising/web-based material in support of the project?  Andrew Vaughan did not seek details of the back garden building.  Why not?

8)  Why did the Head of Planning, Aileen Jones deliberately brush aside valid complaints about the doubtful validity of the Ownership Certificate/Notices lodged by Ms Edmondson's company - only to be overruled by the Council's Legal Department three days later and only two days before the Application was due to be passed at Committee under her insistence and recommendation?

9)  Why was Ward Councillor Hitesh Tailor told that no Department within Ealing Council had supported Ms Edmondson's Hostel Project, when the support letter from Mike Harling that was received by the Planning Department and date-stamped 14th April 2011 in support of Ms Edmondson on file, says the opposite?

10) Why is the letter from Ealing Council Social Services, merely addressed "Dear Angela" without any address being shown on the letter for the addressee?  Why does the letter actually written to "Angela" also refer to her as a third party?
These are only a few points amongst many that have not been answered, clarified or admitted.
At the very least, there should be acknowledgment of malpractice with compensation, accountability and a sincere apology to all the local residents that have been so badly treated.
