Why it was refused
- The application submission fails to satisfactorily demonstrate that the basement proposal would maintain the structural stability of the Grade II* listed building. As such, the development is contrary to Policies DMHB 1, DMHB 2 and DMHD 3 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part 2 (2020), Policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021) and Chapter 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
From the council's decision notice.
