Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use from a Class C3 single-family dwellinghouse to a Class C4 HMO for up to six persons would, by reason of the occupation of the property by multiple unrelated individuals, result in a material change in the nature and intensity of the use of the site. The development would be likely to generate increased comings and goings, activity, noise, disturbance internally and use of the rear garden, harmful to the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers. The submitted HMO Management Plan would not adequately mitigate these impacts. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies DMH 1, DMH 5, DMHB 11 and DMHB 16 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020), Policies D3 and D14 of the London Plan (2021), and the NPPF (2026).
