Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum

Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum Neighbourhood Forum started July 2016 to start influencing local changes & sharing information. It is has now been designated & is a legal entity.

Has a membership. Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum is now a legal entity, currently has a membership of over 50 local residents & business representatives. We all live or work in & around the OPDC area. As you might expect, many of us are involved in our local residents association or community group, or in other local activities. We are people who care a lot about what happens next in this part of Lon

don. The Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum started meeting in July 2016. Prior to this, many of the residents associations & community groups involved had been working together. Several of us have been lobbying HS2 over a period of years, in efforts to mitigate the impact of the decade of construction work that Old Oak will see before the station is completed (due 2026). All our meetings are at The Collective in Old Oak Lane but we share all relevant events run by other organisations so that those interested get a full picture. We have a membership, so if you live or work in the designated area you are welcome to join us! To do so, please send us a message either to this page or to our email address.

OPDC are holding a drop-in session on Tuesday at the Oaklands buildings. Details as below:
Event details
Date: 16th June
Time: 3pm – 7pm, drop by anytime
Location: Oaklands Social, Oaklands Rise, 2 Green St, Old Oak Common Ln, London NW10

What has only recently become clear is that OPDC is packaging up a series of sites in the TITRA area, including these below, in their 'Phase 1' proposals for a joint venture with a 'master development partner'.

Their procurement exercise to select this development partner was launched at the end of May. OONF has since been given access to the tender documentation. This includes information on the sites below at Ursula Lapp, Goodhall Street and a newly labelled Victoria Terraces Cluster.

While we knew about OPDC intentions for Ursulap Lapp and Goodhall Street, the proposals for a 'distinctive two-sided high street' in the section of Old Oak Lane between the canal and Atlas Junction have only just become clear. While there are some visual images in the 2025 Masterplan Framework, there are now details of a maximum height of 18 storeys and an 'indicative capacity' of 170 housing units.

This proposal does not feature in the 2022 adopted OPDC Local Plan. Developers are being given this information, and told that they should take account of the Masterplan Framework. But this is not the statutory local plan for the area. It is a prospectus aimed at developers which has not been adequately consulted on nor 'examined' by a Planning Inspector.

Nor are the sites at Ursula Lapp and Goodhall Street included as site allocations in the Local Plan. Developers are now being given this information, but it is not even clear that these slides below will be available for the public to see at the Drop In on Tuesday.

Some local residents need to turn up at the drop-in session and ask questions about how OPDC is acting. OONF is challenging what is happening, in OPDC adding new sites not included in the 2022 Local Plan, via our own proposals for a neighbourhood plan. Our next Zoom session will be on 2nd July at 6.30pm.
