14 Frays Avenue West Drayton

1. 1.The development, by virtue of its design, height, massing and siting, would result in a visual prominent, incongruous and cramped form of development, to the detriment of the visual amenities of the street scene and the character and appearance of the West Drayton Garden City Area of Special Local Character. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies BE1 and HE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One - Strategic Policies (2012), Policies DMHB 5, DMHB 11 and DMHB 12 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020), Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Paragraphs 129d) and 135c) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
2. 2.In the absence of a s106 agreement that prohibits future occupants from applying for a permit to join PMS WD3 or any parking management scheme in the vicinity of the application site, and with no provision of safe vehicle access or secure and accessible cycle parking being provided within the site, the development would prejudice highway safety and fails to encourage sustainable modes of transport including cycling, walking and the use of public transport. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies DMT 1, DMT 2, DMT 5 and DMT 6 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020), Policies T2, T4, T6 and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021) and Paragraphs 116 and 117 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
3. 3.In the absence of sufficient ecology information, it has not been demonstrated that the proposal would not have an adverse impact upon protected species and nature conservation and that the development would deliver at least a 10% increase in biodiversity value relative to the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat. The development fails to deliver a biodiversity net gain within the borough and fails to secure the protection and effective management of the remaining habitat on site. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy EM7 of the Hillingdon Local Plan (Part 1) 2012, Policies DMEI 7 and DMHB 14 of the Hillingdon Local Plan (Part 2) 2020, Policy G6 of the London Plan 2021 and Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Environment Act 2021.
