What Ealing council is like to work with
This is an easy going Council with accommodating Case Officers. They are happy to discuss the scheme with our Design Team and negotiate on certain points.
The rear facade usually needs to be designed to be in keeping with the local area. Wraparounds are possible but will need precedents.

Design considerations
Ealing loves glazing so adding lots of glass and large doors will pose favourably on an application.
