The 20-minute neighbourhood aims to boost local economies, improve residents' health and wellbeing, enhance social connections, and tackle climate change.
As the borough's economy grows, it is crucial to have a clear guide for everyone, including private developers, housing associations, and the council, to meet the needs of the growing population. This guidance will ensure we can manage future growth and highlight the importance of local amenities in creating vibrant and sustainable communities.
Ealing Council is working with key stakeholders to integrate the 20-minute neighbourhood principles into regeneration projects, ensuring benefits for local communities.
This guidance document clarifies this approach for future developments
Town priorities in the guidance reflect current local needs and will be updated periodically. Consistently applying this guidance will help build a data repository, share case studies, and promote knowledge sharing between developers and communities.
