Ealing Council has been working with residents for the past year on plans to regenerate the Green Man Lane estate in West Ealing, which is in need of improvement due to overcrowding and poor design.  Following a developer selection process, October 2009 saw the council’s Cabinet approve Rydon Construction and A2Dominion Group as the chosen partners.

Green Man Lane estate was built in the 1970s and has a total of 464 homes.  Some of the problems on the estate have included anti-social behaviour, crime, too many one-bedroom properties, a lack of four-bedroom properties and derelict garages. 

The chosen partners are:

• Rydon, which is acting as both constructor and developer.  The company has significant experience in regenerating and improving London housing estates
• A2Dominion Group, a local housing association, will be the housing management provider after the regeneration work is complete. 
• The architect and designer for the project is Conran & Partners.
