• General support for provision of new social infrastructure facilities, where there
is an identified need

29. Off-site expansion Potential additional
patients
Potential additional
floor area
Park Royal Medical
Practice
c.15,000 patients 600sqm
Hammersmith Centre for
Health
c. 6,000 patients 200sqm
Willesden Centre for Health
and Care
c. 8,000 - 10,000 patients 500sqm
Cloister Road Surgery c.3,500 patients 145sqm
To meet needs from 2018 -2023 (based on current modelling)
Health need – off site

30. Health need map

31. The CCG’s preferred delivery approach is for a central hub facility to meet the needs
of the future population in the plan period,
comprising:
• One centrally located facility to service OPDC
area
• 23,000 patient list size (plan period)
• 2024 trigger year for the facility (c. 1100sqm)
• Potential expansion to c.1500sqm in phase 4
(2033)
• Providing primary care services plus
• Pharmacies
• Dental services
• Drinking fountains
• Public toilets
Health Precedent: Parkview Centre for
Health (White City)
Health need – on site

32. Educational need
• The SINS has identified sufficient
capacity in existing primary
schools to meet the needs arising
from phases 1 and 2 of the Local
Plan period (2018 – 2028)
• The growth in pupil numbers
moving into the secondary phase,
means that existing secondary
schools are unlikely to have
available existing capacity to help
meet needs arising from the early
phases of development
Off-site provision
Primary Secondary

33. Educational need
On-site provision
Primary Secondary
• Monitoring of on-site provision of
primary schools starts from
Phase 3 (2029)

4FE primacy school in 2030 –
840 pupils
• Monitoring of on-site provision of
secondary schools starts from
Phase 1 (2018)

of worship, halls for hire, youth space, adult learning and training space,
flexible meeting space etc.
• OPDC’s Social Infrastructure Needs
Study identifies need for 5,200qm of
community space based on the area’s
project future population
• The study recommends this is provided
in two community hubs, delivered in
2026 and 2037
• The Local Plan identifies these should
be delivered in the Old Oak North
and Old Oak South Places
Precedent: Wembley Library
Community service needs

38. Sport and leisure needs
• Sport England study commissioned by
LBHF shows the OPDC area is deficient
in access to public sports centres
• The Study estimates that development in
the OPDC area is likely to generate a
need for 14 badminton size sports courts
and 2 x 25 metre swimming pools
• The Local Plan identifies that this need
should be met through 2 on-site sports
centres – one in Old Oak North and one
in Old Oak South
• Need for protection/enhancement of
existing and provision of new outdoor
playing pitches Precedent: Fulham Pools
