News just published by Estates Gazette:

Countryside Properties and London & Quadrant have been appointed to the £560m regeneration of South Acton, Ealing’s largest housing estate.



The 40-acre site is intended for a new “urban village”.



The two development partners will work with the council to develop tree-lined streets, upgraded parks, communal gardens, allotments, and improved links to underground and overground stations.



A masterplan will be completed this summer for the regeneration with a  planning application to be submitted later this year.



The new homes will be environmentally sustainable with low heating, power and water costs, and the new neighbourhood will have improved links the town centre.



Richard Cherry, deputy chairman of Countryside Properties, said: “Our over-arching vision is to transform the South Acton Estate into a highly sought after, sustainable, residential community that all residents are proud to live in.



“It is a genuinely unique opportunity to not only regenerate one of London’s largest housing estates, but to use the physical, social, and economic regeneration as a catalyst for improving the quality of life across a wider area.”



David Montague, chief executive of L&Q, said: “We look forward to working with residents and the council to develop a masterplan that will transform the estate and continue our mission of creating places where people want to live.”
