The Electricity substation - which the plaaning Inspector ruled should be removed - has now been included in the Crossrail Compound and is being used to provide power for it.
Ealing Council state that Crossrail are bound to remove it at the end of their works - but have no written agreement to that effect.
FoHG is working to ensure that the area is restored to how it was previously.
Ealing Council has submitted a planning application to the Planning Inspectorate for the retention of the Electricity sub-station on Haven Green.
The sub-station was originally installed to proved power for the now-defunct ice rink. On appeal, the planning permission was limited to 5 years.
Ealing council have now applied for temporary planning permission for 25 years!
The sub-station was one of the areas of encroachment that Friends of Haven Green have been arguing against.
How can 25 years be temporary?

QUERIES
We believe that some of the factual statements on the application are incorrecet and not in line with the decisions of the previous temporary planning decision. We have asked for clarification and corrections.
PLANS.
The plans being used are 2008 versions and so do not include recent incursions into the Green such as the cycle hub and 'temporary' cycle racks.
