Authority: London Borough of Hillingdon
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Major retail and services
Inspector: Hawkins S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to noise and disturbance and air quality
The effect on the Council's strategy for managing airport-related development, having regard to Development Plan policy

What decided it

The parking use caused a significant and appreciable increase in noise, disturbance and air quality impacts on neighbouring residential occupiers compared to the former use and permitted hotel scheme, conflicting with development plan policies protecting living conditions and air quality.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMEI 14, Policy EM8, Policy DMAV 2, Policy D14, Policy SI 1

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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
