Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Hillingdon Village Conservation Area
  • the effect on highway safety, with particular regard to the adequacy of parking provision
  • the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to privacy
  • whether the proposed development would provide suitable access for pedestrians and cyclists

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Hillingdon Village Conservation Area caused by the alterations to the building's form, scale and appearance could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and the harmful effect on character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of increased housing supply, economic benefits and other considerations.
