Walls are up, roof is off. An earlier photo
Image gives information about the extension. We've seen many loft conversions in the area, this is more a complete rebuild.

House undergoing major extension, North Acton
Many houses in this area have loft conversions. It appears that this detached house will have ground floor extension as well. The entire side wall and much of the rear wall have been demolished, the roof has been stripped. The planning application is for 2 storey side, front and rear extension and loft conversion. House prices in this area are rising, particularly with Crossrail being imminent at nearby Acton Mainline Station.

Pop-up police vehicle check
A police strategy for finding vehicles which do not have current licence or insurance (or have been reported stolen) is to set up a check point, somewhere with a dual carriageway or layby or slip road so that vehicles can be pulled over without disrupting the traffic flow. They use a substantial team of police officers - there are ten visible in the photo - so they can check several vehicles at the same time. They appear suddenly, check for a few hours, and move on somewhere else.
[edit] I see from
Image that another Geograph contributor photographed another check in the same place, back in March 2012.

An Unpleasant Surprise On Horn Lane
Well unpleasant for any motorists driving a vehicle that catches the eye of the Police Officers as they carry out spot checks. There were a couple of Police motocyclists waiting on the corner of Noel Road (out of shot on the left) and a traffic car waiting further back on Horn Lane in case of any motorists doing a runner. This was the second operation of this sort that I saw during the day - the other was in Craven Park.
