60 Long Lane, Ickenham - 70282/APP/2017/3656 Two-storey detached building with habitable roof space to create eight two-bedroom flats with associated amenity space, parking and installation of vehicular crossover, involving demolition of existing dwelling house.
Recommendation: Refusal Decision: RESOLVED: That the application was refused. Minutes: Two -storey detached building with habitable roof space to create eight two-bed flats with associated amenity space, parking and installation of vehicular crossover, involving demolition of existing dwelling house.
Officers introduced the proposed development, which sought the demolition of the existing dwelling and erection of a two-storey building, with habitable roofspace, providing eight two-bed flats.
A petitioner spoke in objection to the application, noting that the bulk and size of the proposal were too large, and it included features that were out of keeping with the street scene. The Committee heard that residents believed the application was an overdevelopment in a Conservation Area, and would exacerbate traffic, parking and road safety issues in the area, as well as increasing noise and air pollution.
Members agreed that the application was out of keeping in the surrounding area, and noted that there were multiple reasons for refusal that were agreeable. The Committee moved, seconded, and unanimously agreed the officer's recommendation.
RESOLVED: That the application was refused. |

103 Shenley Avenue, Ruislip - 20004/APP/2017/2989 Two two-storey, four-bed, semi-detached dwellings with associated parking and amenity space and installation of two vehicular crossovers to front, involving demolition of existing bungalow.
Recommendation: Approval Decision: RESOLVED: That the application was approved. Minutes: Two two-storey, four-bed, semi-detached dwellings with associated parking and amenity space and installation of two vehicular crossovers to front, involving demolition of existing bungalow.
Members introduced the application, which sought two two-storey, four-bedroom, semi-detached dwellings, involving the demolition of the existing dwelling.
A petitioner spoke in objection to the application, stating that residents considered the application was an overdevelopment, intrusive and overbearing in the local area, and was out of keeping with the street scene.
The Committee also heard that the application was very similar to a previous application on the site that was withdrawn after officer's recommended it for refusal.
Officers confirmed that the previous application had an unacceptable parking layout, which has been revised in the new application as is to the satisfaction of the Council's Highways Engineer. The Committee also heard that the 45 degree line was no longer breached and complies with guidelines.
Members confirmed that they were sympathetic to residents who opposed the application, but noted that on merit, it was difficult to refuse the application. As such, the officer's recommendation was moved, seconded and unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED: That the application was approved. |
