without planning permission, the installation of a new shop front

Authority: London Borough of Hillingdon
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: retail · Minor retail and services
Inspector: Hawkins S
Postcode: HA5 1QR

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the new shopfront on the character and appearance of the building and the surrounding area, including its effect on the significance of the row as a non-designated heritage asset
The effect on the significance of the Eastcote (Morford Way) Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset through development within its setting

What decided it

The shopfront harmfully erodes the character and appearance of the locally listed building and its row through its unrelieved glazing and lack of traditional detailing, causing moderate harm to the heritage asset in conflict with the development plan, with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMHB 13, Policy BE1, Policy HE1, Policy DMHB 1, Policy DMHB 3, Policy DMHB 11, Policy DMHB 12, Policy DMHB 4, Policy HC1

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
