1. 1.The development, by reason of its siting, size, scale, bulk, design, layout, site coverage would result in a cramped, contrived and visually incongruous form of development that would fail to harmonise with the existing context of the surrounding area. The development as proposed would be detrimental to the character, appearance and visual amenity of the site and surrounding area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy BE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One (2012), Policies DMH 6 and DMHB 11 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two (2020), Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Paragraphs 129d), 135b) and c) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
2. 2.The development, by reason of the increased level of comings and goings and associated light pollution, noise and general disturbance alongside a harmful over intensification of the use of the site, would have a harmful effect on the living conditions and residential amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, the host dwelling and the proposed development. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DMH 6 and DMHB 11 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two (2020), Policies D3 and D13 of the London Plan (2021) and Paragraph 135 f) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
3. 3.The development would fail to provide safe and acceptable vehicle access and an adequate quantum of off-street parking spaces that would be functional and capable of safe and independent access, which would increase parking stress and prejudice highway safety. The development is therefore contrary to Policies DMT 1, DMT 2 and DMT 6 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two (2020), Policies T2, T4, T6 and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021) and Paragraphs 115 and 116 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
4. 4.The development would result in a harmful loss of garden land, over-development and an over- intensification of the residential use involving the loss of existing private garden areas is considered to be unacceptable. The development is therefore contrary to Policy BE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One - Strategic Policies (2012), Policies DMH 6 and DMHB 11 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two (2020), Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Paragraph 129d) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
