Hi everyone,
Two things to share this week — one about how this development is being sold behind the scenes, and one about what 190 new homes would actually mean for healthcare in our area.
1. How TT Group talks about Ealing North — when they're not talking to residents
TT Group has produced an investor presentation for this site. It's called "Ealing North: Delivering Value in a Transforming Market — A Strategic Investment Case for Residential Resilience in London."
At the public consultation, we heard about community courtyards, green roofs, and sensitive design.
In the investor materials, the language is very different:
— An £8 billion property portfolio
— £2 billion in available investment equity
— 22,000 homes in their development pipeline
— Demand described as "guaranteed by top social and political trends"
— Housing affordability and mass migration listed as the demand drivers
— ESG framed as a "license to play"
— their words for the minimum needed to get planning permission
— Ownership under the Tchenguiz Family Trust (Bernard Pears 1967 Family Trust), operating through offshore family office capital
— A direct quote: "We are not waiting for 2025. We are deploying capital now."
I've compiled the key slides into a document you can read for yourself:

These are the developer's own published materials. Not my interpretation. Not AI imagery. Their words.
2. Where will 400+ new residents see a doctor?
In June 2023, Pitshanger Family Practice on Pitshanger Lane closed after the landlord sold the building. It was the closest GP surgery to this development site. Its patients were merged into Boileau Road Surgery in North Ealing — further away and already serving its own patient list.
That means our area has already lost GP capacity. Now we're being asked to absorb around 190 new households — potentially 400 or more new residents — without any new healthcare provision on site or nearby.
The developer's consultation materials don't mention GP access. The investor presentation doesn't mention it either. It's simply not part of their story — because it's not their problem. It'll be the NHS's problem, and ultimately yours.
This is exactly the kind of infrastructure question that the planning process is supposed to address before approval — not after.
What you can do
The planning application is expected next month (March 2026). If you believe these questions deserve proper answers before 190 homes are approved:

Thank you to everyone who has already signed. Every signature adds weight when the planning committee makes their decision.
