2.1 Realising the potential of the Uxbridge Road/ Crossrail Corridor

(a) By 2026, seek the development of over 9,000 extra housing units (74 per cent of the borough’s total net increase in housing development).

(b) To supplement the introduction of Crossrail, seek improvements in bus services, capacity and servicing arrangements along the Uxbridge Road / Crossrail corridor.

(c) To achieve an appropriate balance in localities within the corridor between regeneration objectives and the conservation of the built and natural environment.

(d) To improve the conditions for cycling on the corridor, and development of four-cycle hubs in Southall, Hanwell, Ealing and Acton with improved north-south cycle access.

(e) To establish a decentralised energy network(s) within Ealing Town Centre with a potential connection to the Green Man Lane Estate and further explore opportunities for creating a district energy network for other areas with high/medium potential in the corridor.

(f) To work with Thames Water and other stakeholders to support the timely implementation of the Thames Tideway Sewer Tunnel project, including connection of the combined sewer outflows in the borough.
