The Council has also granted detailed consent for 106 new homes, which will be the first to be built within the second phase of the scheme.
The £579 million Acton Gardens scheme will see the development of an urban village with around 2,500 homes, half of which will be affordable, as well as tree-lined streets, parks, communal gardens and allotments, office and retail space.
The developer, Acton Gardens LLP, is a joint venture between social landlord London & Quadrant (L&Q) and builder Countryside Properties. It has established Acton Gardens Community Board in conjunction with local residents and stakeholders, to help manage the regeneration.
New homes in the development will be built to achieve a minimum Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4, offering low heating, power and water consumption.
“Securing planning committee approval is a crucial milestone in the transformation of South Acton and we are extremely pleased to have been given the green light by our partners at the London Borough of Ealing,” said L&Q chief executive David Montague.
“The consultation process with residents and local and regional stakeholders involved numerous public exhibitions, workshops with community groups and over 600 face to face interviews with residents. The results of this process can be seen in the quality of the design proposals which are very focused on delivering the aspirations of local people,” he said.
167 dwellings, which are not included in the masterplan, are already under construction. This is the first phase of the project, which was granted planning consent in January 2011. The first completions are expected in January 2013.
