“Hillingdon Planning Committee – 4th September 2025 PART 1 – Members, Public & Press Fi gure 2: Street View Image of the Application Property 2.3The site is located within the `Primary Shopping Area' of the Yiewsley/West Drayton Town Centre as designated by the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (January 2020).”

“Application reference 2370/APP/2018/2793 was granted consent on 21 August 2019 for the demolition of the existing buildings and the redevelopment of the site to provide a part 4 to part 8 storey building comprising a replacement Class A1 1,643sq.m (GIA) food store, 144 residential units, basement car parking and associated works. The consent expired on the 21 August 2022.”

“Application reference 2370/APP/2019/2880 sought planning permission to vary planning permission reference 2370/APP/2018/2793 in order to allow the removal of the lower basement car park level and reconfiguration of the upper- level basement car park layout. This involved a reduction in the number of car parking spaces for the residential units from 101 to 23 spaces and additional off- site highway improvement works on St Stephen's Road.”

“However, the provision of additional residential flats on sustainably located brownfield land within the Yiewsley and West Drayton Town Centre is supported. The retail unit would generate jobs on a site which has remained vacant for several years and the new residents of the development would provide further business for local traders and support the vitality and viability of the town centre.”

“Subject to the planning conditions and obligations recommended, the proposed development can mitigate the planning policy conflicts identified. Accordingly, the development is considered, on balance, to be acceptable with respect to design, heritage, residential amenity, environmental issues, transport, and sustainabilit y.”

“Members requested clarification on social infrastructure contributions, particularly for education and youth services. Officers noted that education contributions were covered via Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Health contributions were included due to the affordable housing provision.”

“Members queried the low number of three-bedroom units and questioned the adequacy of accessible parking (four spaces for 16 wheelchair-accessible flats). Officers responded that the unit mix reflected viability constraints; 11% were family sized. Accessible parking provision aligned with planning policy, with flexibility to convert…”

“Officers’ recommendations were moved, seconded and when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.”

“RESOLVED: That the application be approved…”
