Warren farm

I don't blame the locals for fighting but I'm glad we've finally won. Hopefully the community will benefit more than Northolt has from the new Middlesex FA HQ at rectory park.

Anyone on here involved in construction? - when could we realistically be looking at building starting and the project being finished?

If they haven't got plans detailed enough ready after 7 years, then i'd be surprised. Just depends if the weather is ok to build right now, bit of sh1t time of year to do this.

YES! Brilliant! I hope the construction work now starts sooner rather than later.

Good news.

This is great news. Now lets get that first spade in the ground. Wouldn't surprise me though if the local ruffian ar$eh0les try and sabotage building progress just for the hell of it. Must be Brentford fans.

Is building an academy a crime against humanity?

in todays age it very well could be to some people!

looks like its finally done though, get in!!!

[Undecided]

Good news. Article seems a bit one sided though. How about a balanced view rather than one designed to incite the natives?

The battle to save Warren Farm appears to have been finally lost. The Supreme Court of the UK has ruled against the appeal being made by the Save Warren Farm (SWF) group to prevent public land being leased by Ealing Council to QPR for use as a multi-million pound training facility.

The decision was welcomed by Council leader Julian Bell as 'excellent news. The Council claim the football club will invest millions of pounds into community sports facilities and a sports development programme.

SWF have been arguing for the last five years that the plan to lease 61 acres of publicly-owned community sports fields between Hanwell and Southall for 200 years at no rent to a privately owned company is effectively 'giving away' public land. They also claim QPR will make around £4 million from the scheme. It is believed that the appeal to the Supreme Court was the last legal recourse for the campaign.

They had the support of the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE). Alice Roberts from CPRE said, ''This is London’s open green space and Ealing Council should not be enabling this large development, so damaging to the landscape. Leasing the land rent-free to a private company for 200 years is astonishing.......... More on website .
