30 Church Road West Drayton

1. 1.The two storey rear extension, first floor side extension, conversion and extension of the roof space to habitable use to include raising of ridge, would result in an incongruous form of development that would be detrimental to the visual amenities of the streetscene and the character and appearance of the surrounding area and would result in a moderate level of less than substantial harm to the West Drayton Green Conservation Area that would fail to be outweighed by the public benefits of the development. The development would be contrary to Policies BE1 and HE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One - Strategic Policies (2012); Policies DMHB 1, DMHB 4, DMHB 11, DMHB 12, DMHB 14 and DMHD1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020), Policies Policy HC1, D1 and D3 of the London Plan (2021) and the NPPF (2024) in particular Paragraphs 135, 210 and 215.
2. 2.The high number of potential occupants, would result in noise and general disturbance to neighbouring properties which alongside a harmful over intensification of the use of the site would be detrimental to both the occupiers and neighbouring properties and the residential amenity of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DMH 5, DMHB 11 and DMHD 1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020), Policies D3 and D13 of the London Plan (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
3. 3.The development, by virtue of the loss of the existing family dwelling, would conflict with the Borough's strategic housing goal of safeguarding family dwellings and the proposed change of use to a Large HMO would be harmful to the character of the area. Consequently, the principle of development is considered to be unacceptable. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DMH 1, DMH 5, DMHB 11 and DMHB 12 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020); Policies H8 (A) and H9 of the London Plan 2021; and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
