Since 1995, when pavement crossovers became \u201cpermitted development\u201d, people have been able to destroy their front gardens by turning them into car parks. Householders can completely pave or concrete their front gardens as long as they put in token drainage. A large proportion of the borough\u2019s front gardens are now completely covered in hard surfaces. Overnight charging of electric vehicles is further encouraging this.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-60b2a1d9 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"60b2a1d9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2b0fd984\" data-id=\"2b0fd984\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb1dd7e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"eb1dd7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ealing Front Gardens Project's response to Ealing Local Plan<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f8c3688 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f8c3688\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In its response to the <em>Ealing Local Plan<\/em>, Ealing Front Gardens Project takes the view that front gardens should specifically be included in the climate action and healthy living policies. This is because paving over a front garden to turn it into a car park creates a range of environmental, societal and aesthetic problems that have serious repercussions on the wider neighbourhood and beyond.<\/p><p>Furthermore, we feel that front gardens should be included in the Local Plan\u2019s definition of community green space. Private gardens account for about a quarter of London\u2019s total footprint and front gardens for about a quarter of that. Because what householders do to their front gardens can have major detrimental effects, and because front gardens are visible to all and contribute to the aesthetic and amenity value of the area, it follows that front gardens should be treated as having community value, and hence as community green space. Householders should be made aware of their community obligations in this respect.<\/p><p>See the link below for our full submission.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a166493 elementor-align-justify elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6a166493\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/17X4AXisq5VjVU32KZ8gkMskc80fCUsbd\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Download full submission<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-46ceb6b1\" data-id=\"46ceb6b1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e112f67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2e112f67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"923\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/ealingfoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrontGarden_Paved.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6040\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ealingfoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrontGarden_Paved.jpg 923w, https:\/\/ealingfoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrontGarden_Paved-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ealingfoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrontGarden_Paved-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 923px) 100vw, 923px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-433ae1f1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"433ae1f1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-15e73a36\" data-id=\"15e73a36\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57e4a718 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"57e4a718\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-183085df elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"183085df\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-585a5d8d\" data-id=\"585a5d8d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17167183 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"17167183\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Further information<\/strong> about Ealing Front Gardens Project is available <a href=\"https:\/\/frontgardens.nationalparkcity.org\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Include front gardens in climate action &#038;
