Planning committee

Decided by Hillingdon Planning Committee on 21 Apr 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the scheme would reuse a brownfield site, provide homes and improve public spaces, subject to obligations and conditions.
  • Sixteen public comments opposed the scheme over traffic, parking, overlooking, noise, height and infrastructure; three supported its design and regeneration benefits.
  • Members unanimously approved the application and Section 106 agreement in line with the officer recommendation.

Site constraints 7

Article 4 direction
Residential extensions. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Archaeological priority area
An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Air quality management area: Hillingdon AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
