Why it was refused

  1. The application site, by reason of its limited dimensions, changes in ground level and close relationship with the retained dwelling at No. 16 Shelley Lane and adjoining residential properties, is unsuitable for the proposed additional residential development. The introduction of two dwellings would result in an unduly cramped form of development, with insufficient separation and space to accommodate the dwellings and associated access works satisfactorily, having regard to the surrounding pattern of development and changes in level, causing harm to the character of the locality and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers. These constraints concern the suitability of the site and the proposed amount of development and could not satisfactorily be overcome through detailed design at Technical Details Consent stage. The identified harm would substantially outweigh the benefits of providing two additional homes. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policy BE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan Part 1 (2012), Policies DMH 6 and DMHB 11 of the Hillingdon Local Plan Part 2 (2020), and Policies S4, L2 and L3 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
