Manor Road plan (updated plans)

The new plan is for 144 “affordable”* homes in two blocks, a 19 storey tower and a 13 storey shoulder building. Whilst the tower maybe be shorter than the previous the shoulder tower is actually much higher. The whole building is much wider and denser in appearance. It is still twice the height of any building in the surrounding area.

*affordable – What does it actually mean?
Don’t be fooled by their claim that these flats are 100% affordable. None of these flats will be available to people on Ealing’s Housing list. None of the people buying these flats are currently homeless. The two schemes being offered are:
65% shared ownership (a small studio flat is being priced at £400,000, a two bed is £550,000)
35% is ‘London Living Rent’ which is a new scheme from the London Mayor, exclusively for middle income households earning up to £60,000 who want to buy a home.
