Why this development needs proper scrutiny before approval

Hi everyone,
I want to set out why this petition matters, and why a development of this size deserves proper scrutiny before it's approved.
When the developer speaks to residents, the conversation is about community courtyards, green roofs, biodiversity, and sensitive design. Those are welcome – but they don't answer the questions that affect us most directly.
Every resident should be asking: what confidence do we have that local infrastructure – GPs, schools, roads, pedestrian safety – will be genuinely prioritised, rather than treated as someone else's problem?
The planning process exists precisely to make sure those questions are properly
assessed before approval.
The planning application is expected in March. If you believe these questions deserve proper answers first, please share this petition: https://www.change.org/ealingnorth
Thank you to everyone who has signed so far. More updates soon.
Jason
