Why it was refused

The proposed BT Street Hub, by reason of its scale, illumination, design and prominent siting, would appear as a visually intrusive feature that would detract from the character and appearance of the street scene and would fail to preserve or enhance the Ruislip Village Conservation Area, resulting in less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset. This harm would not be outweighed by any public benefits. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DMHB 1, DMHB 4, DMHB 11, DMHB 12, DMHB 13A and DMHB 21 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two (2020), Policies BE1 and HE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One (2012), Policies D3 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), and the statutory duty under Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
