Require GP, School and Access Impact Studies Before Approval of the Greystoke Development,

The Issue

This petition asks Ealing Council to pause the proposed Greystoke development until independent, evidence-based impact studies are completed for GP services, local schools, and road access.

This is not opposition to new homes. It is a request for responsible planning that protects existing and future residents alike.

The photograph included here shows the current site and access conditions, providing essential context for understanding the real-world constraints of this location.

Living in North Ealing, just a street away from the proposed development behind The Greystoke pub, I find myself concerned not just as a resident, but as a member of a community already grappling with stretched local services. This proposed development isn’t an abstract matter of urban planning - it directly impacts our lives, potentially adding strain to an already overburdened infrastructure.

The influx of hundreds of new residents must not proceed without a detailed understanding and assurance that our local services can sustain this growth. We need comprehensive assessments - **General Practice (GP) Services Impact Study, School Capacity Impact Study, and Access and Traffic Impact Study** - before any further steps are taken on this development.

Currently, North Ealing's healthcare services are under significant stress. GP appointments are hard to come by, with waiting times extending sometimes into weeks. Without a proper GP Services Impact Study, this development could exacerbate an already challenging situation, endangering the health and well-being of current and future residents.

Education is another area of concern. Local schools often run at or near full capacity. A School Capacity Impact Study is imperative to ensure that educational standards are not compromised and that every child receives quality education without being shuffled into overcrowded classrooms.

Moreover, the transportation and roads infrastructure in North Ealing is already nearing its limits. Rush hour often brings gridlock, and parking is a continual source of frustration for many residents. An Access and Traffic Impact Study is essential to evaluate how this development will affect our roads and public transport, ensuring safety and mobility for everyone.

Failing to conduct these impact studies could lead to long-term, detrimental effects on our community, burdening essential services and diminishing the quality of life for all who live here. This is about making responsible decisions for our future, based on accurate predictions and reasonable expectations, ensuring that North Ealing remains a thriving and welcoming place.

Join me in urging the council to conduct these necessary studies before granting approval to the Greystoke development. Let's ensure that development across our community is done with the highest regard for our current needs and future sustainability. Please sign this petition to demand these crucial evaluations before any further advancements are made.
