Calming rental pricing
Innovation on estates
In February, the council won a London Planning
Award for its ambitious plans to transform Copley
Close Estate in Hanwell.
In an innovative and unusual move, Ealing
Council is acting as both developer and landlord
rather than getting a housing association or private
developer to take over the estate. The council is
overseeing and financing the whole development
process by setting up its own company that will
develop the new homes for sale and private rent.
Over the next five years the transformation of
Copley Close will see 205 new homes being built
and a further 550 existing homes refurbished. It
will have new housing for council tenants, flats and
houses for private sale, shared ownership, market
rent and affordable rent. New community facilities,
shop units and public spaces will also be created.
The council is working to regenerate other
estates in the borough in a similar way.
