What Needs to Change - Ealing Council

Following the collapse of contractor Real LSE last year, Ealing Council has been considering its options for the regeneration of the High Lane estate in Hanwell. We met principal project manager Sam O’Neill onsite and caught up with assistant director for housing regeneration Emma Osmundsen afterwards, to understand how turbulent market conditions have disrupted a scheme that could provide over 500 new homes - and how that has created a chance to “build better”.
