The Site

Home to a series of outdated industrial warehouses, the site has the potential to deliver much more for South Acton.

The site

  • The site is located on 8–10 Greenock Road in South Acton. It is designated as a ‘Locally Significant Industrial Site’ (LSIS), which means it can support a wide range of employment uses.
  • The site is currently occupied by a pair of two-storey industrial warehouses with associated office space, adjoined by one storey extensions, as well as a front yard with vehicle parking.
  • These buildings are home to a mix of industrial businesses, whose leases are due to expire between 2023–2024. This presents an opportunity to upgrade these outdated warehouses to fulfill the true potential of this site, while reflecting the current and future needs of the area.

The surrounding area

  • The area has a rich history as an industrial centre, and throughout much of the 20th Century the main source of work was divided between The Brickfields and Laundrettes, giving South Acton the nickname of The Soapsuds Island. Acton soon became described as “The Motor Town” with a large concentration of industry, notably one of the largest in the country.
  • South Acton is becoming a vibrant entre in Ealing, adapting to the demands for quality housing and more diverse employment opportunities for local people, while protecting its industrial character and the interests of existing residents.
