The Margarine Works regeneration project approved
We are absolutely delighted to hear that last night LB Ealing resolved to grant outline planning permission for the Margarine Works regeneration project in Southall. This fantastic regeneration scheme by Montreaux forms part of the Southall Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF) and comprises some 2000 new homes, 13,000sqm of employment, community and retail space plus a hotel and new public greens and squares. The scheme will deliver key transport infrastructure to open up the OAPF for buses, pedestrians and cyclists, linking the area to the new Southall Crossrail station. Entran worked alongside a fabulous consultant team including Assael, GL Hearn and Aecom. This is a really exciting development scheme and we look forward to the opportunity to progress the reserved matters applications with LBE, GLA and TfL and see this new neighbourhood through to completion.
