37 Edgar Road Yiewsley UB7 8HN

1. 1.The development, by virtue of the loss of the existing family dwelling, would conflict with the Borough's strategic housing goal of safeguarding 3-bedroom family dwellings and the proposed change of use to a HMO and a separate studio flat in the roof space, would be harmful to the character of the area and 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) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
2. 2.The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal and the high number of potential occupants, would not result in noise and general disturbance to neighbouring properties alongside a harmful over intensification of the use of the site, 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 its failure to maintain an adequate amount of usable internal living space and external private amenity space for the occupiers of the proposed development, would result in substandard living conditions and an over-development of the site to the detriment of the residential amenity of future occupiers. It is also noted that Room 3 on the ground floor has 1 window which would is overlooked by the garden, given the lack of internal amenity space there would be added pressure on the use of the garden thus diminishing the privacy of the occupier of this room and Room 2 has 1 window which is within an unacceptably close distance to the boundary fence which significantly reduces the outlook, daylight and sunlight for the occupant within this room. The development is therefore contrary to the requirements of Policies DMH 5, DMHB 11, DMHB 16 and DMHB 18 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020) and Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024)
4. 4.The development would fail to provide adequate safe and accessible parking provision which would increase parking stress in a controlled parking zone 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 - Development Management Policies (2020), Policies T2, T4, T6 and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
5. 5.The proposed rear extension, by virtue of its excessive size, depth, massing and proximity to the shared boundary, would be detrimental to the amenities of the neighbouring occupiers at No.39 Edgar Road, by reason of overdominance, overshadowing, visual intrusion and loss of outlook. The proposed rear extension would also appear as an insubordinate and incongruous form of development that would fail to respect the form and architectural composition of the host dwelling and would be harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding area. Therefore the proposal would be contrary to Policies BE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One - Strategic Policies (2012), Policies DMHD 1, DMHB 11 and DMHB 12 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020) and Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021).
