52 new homes at Hayes Park West Hayes End Road, Hayes

“The application site is situated within the wider former Hayes Park business park (outlined in blue in Figure 1 below), which is currently undergoing residential conversion and is a private landscaped parkland setting accessed from Hayes End Road to the west and Park Lane to the east via gates.”

“Hillingdon Planning Committee – 4th June 2026 PART 1 – Members, Public & Press  2.2 The site lies within designated Metropolitan Green Belt and the Hillingdon Air Quality Management Area. It has a Public Transport Access Level (PTAL) of 0, on a scale of 0 to 6b where 6b is the highest. As shown in Figures 2 and 3 below, immediately to the north and west are mature trees and open parkland.”

“The above permissions have granted consent for the residential use of Hayes Park. This is a significant material consideration, noting that Hayes Park North will form part of an emerging residential community.”

“Members noted that there may be an unexploded World War 2 ordnance on the site and asked if an assessment had been carried out to confirm. Officers noted that there was a contaminated land condition, and that this was a previously developed site and so the presence of an unexploded ordnance was very unlikely. It was proposed that the contaminated land condition be reviewed and strengthened.”

“Members asked about the viability assessment in relation to affordable housing levels. Officers advised that a comprehensive viability process had been undertaken including employing a third-party consultant. This resulted in the conclusion that 10 affordable units was the maximum viable provision for the site. Officers further noted that there was an early and late stage viability review, which may represent an opportunity to add further affordable units.”

“Including amendments to conditions, officers’ recommendations were moved, seconded and when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.”

“RESOLVED: That the application be approved…”
