4C Ealing Local Policy - Main Town Centre Uses

Planning decisions

  • Main town centre uses must relate well to their surroundings, high quality façade design is particularly important in this respect
  • Development must not result in over- concentration of a particular use type where this use may erode local amenity by nature of that concentration.
  • Standards applying to specific use types are set out in table 4C.1 below.
Table 4C.1
Type of UseRestrictions
Hot Food Takeaways (A5) and Amusement ArcadesAre not permitted within a ten minute walk (which will normally equate to a 400m radius) of existing schools. Each new unit must be separated from any unit or group of units by at least two units of other uses.
Night-time usesMust consider neighbouring uses especially residential. The local planning authority will have particular concern for the cumulative and saturation effects of these uses.
