Ealing is the third largest London borough, in terms of its population, and is one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the country. As such, the priority for Ealing is to ensure healthy, safe and prosperous environments that enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors.
The borough is home to five Crossrail stations, which will bring substantial change to the area, adding development pressure to the existing need for affordable homes and employment spaces.
The Ealing Design Review Panel has been established to support the borough´s ambitions for sustainable growth and high-quality design, strengthening the individual characteristics of each of Ealing’s distinct neighbourhoods. This includes protecting local conservation areas, ensuring access and quality of public open spaces and cohesive connections within and beyond the borough.
The Ealing Design Review Panel is chaired by Kathryn Firth, Director of Masterplanning and Urban Design at Arup. Andrew Beharrell, Senior Advisor at Pollard Thomas Edwards, is the panel's vice chair.
