2.18 Ealing Local Variation - Green Infrastructure: The Network of Open and Green Spaces

Planning Decisions

  • The above Strategic principles will apply to the management of Ealing’s defined network of Green Infrastructure. Improvements and extensions to this network will be sought wherever possible.
  • The coherence of green and open spaces and their integrity in fulfilling the complementary functions of nature conservation, heritage conservation and recreation remain the overriding principles governing their development, extension and use. Only development ancillary to the open space will be permitted. The size of development within green and open spaces and its impact upon visual openness must be kept at a minimum.
  • Development should not compromise the visual openness or heritage value of open and green spaces particularly with regard to views within and across these areas. The impact of development upon views to and from open and green spaces is also a material consideration.
