Why it was refused

  1. The use of the property by five individuals would result in undue noise and general disturbance to neighbouring residents, particularly as a result of a marked increase in comings and goings, use of the rear garden and the lack of information relating to sound insulation and would have a demonstrably negative impact on the amenity of the adjoining residents. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the requirements of Policies DMH 5 and DMHB 11 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020) and paragraph 135 (f) of the NPPF (2024).
  2. In the absence of a Section 106 agreement or Unilateral Undertaking to remove residents access to obtain parking permits within the surrounding streets the proposals are likely to result in a increase in on-street overspill parking which would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety and amenity contrary to Paragraph 112 of the NPPF 2024; Policies T2, T4 and T5 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies DMT 1, DMT 2 and DMT 6 of the Hillingdon Local Plan Part 2 Development Management Policies.

From the council's decision notice.
