Planning committee

Decided by Hillingdon Planning Committee on 14 Oct 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the lower building would provide housing on an accessible brownfield site without unacceptable impacts, subject to conditions and obligations.
  • Residents objected to density, height, overlooking, daylight, parking, traffic, noise, fire safety, amenity space and the lack of affordable housing.
  • The committee approved the application in line with the officer recommendation.

Site constraints 8

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 Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
In flood zones plus climate change
Inside the extent flood zones 2 and 3 could reach with climate change: the Central allowance for the 2080s on rivers, the Upper End allowance for sea level rise to 2125. From rivers. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Councils use it to decide when a flood risk assessment and the sequential test are needed. It is indicative and does not show whether a particular property will flood.

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.
