Dear Stakeholder
Working together, the Mayor of London, Transport for London (TfL), Hammersmith & Fulham, Ealing and Brent Councils are consulting on a vision to regenerate Old Oak Common – which is set to become Britain’s best connected railway station after the Government named the site as the main interchange between High Speed 2 (HS2) and Crossrail. The new HS2 station also provides the opportunity for a new Overground station creating links to jobs all over London.
Given the regeneration potential HS2 provides, the authorities have developed a 30 year vision to transform Old Oak. The Vision spells out how up to 90,000 jobs and 19,000 new homes – in addition to new schools, open spaces, shops and leisure facilities – could transform the area.
The ideas put forward in the new Vision for Old Oak will form part of the authorities’ Local Plan reviews and the Mayor’s London Plan and bring economic benefits to local centres in Harlesden, Acton and Ealing, as well as supporting connections to the White City, Earls Court, Wembley and Brent Cross and Kensal Canal side Opportunity Areas.
We want to know what you think about the principles of the vision and 30 year plan. The ideas will also feed into a future ‘Opportunity Area Planning Framework’ being produced for the area. This framework will be used by the authorities when assessing future planning applications for development in the area.
Attached is a copy of the leaflet being distributed to the community in the next few days.
