8 SUNNINGDALE AVENUE RUISLIP, 19038/APP/2010/770 Although this application has not been before Members of the committee at least 5 working days in advance of the meeting, it is considered to warrant urgent action as an appeal against non-determination has now been lodged, and the Local Planning Authority needs to advise the Planning Inspectorate of the determination that would have been made, had the appeal not been lodged, within the appeal time frame. Minutes: In accordance with the Council’s constitution a representative of the petition received in objection to the proposal was invited to address the meeting.
Points raised by the petitioner:
The Applicant / Agent were not present at the meeting. A Ward Councillor was present and addressed the Committee:
Members asked for further clarification about the location of bins. Officers informed Members that the bins would be kept in the front garden. The Committee agreed that they did not want to encourage this.
It was moved and seconded that the application be refused. On being put to the vote, refusal was agreed unanimously.
Resolved – That the application be refused for the reason set out below: "The proposal, by reason of its excessive density and site coverage with buildings, including the bin storage building to the front and hard-standing, represents an over-development of the site, that would be out of keeping with the pattern of surrounding residential development and results in an excessive loss of garden space, detrimental to the verdant character and visual amenity of the area. The development therefore fails to harmonise with the character of the surrounding area, contrary to Policies BE13 and BE19 of the adopted Hillingdon Unitary Development Plan Saved Policies (September 2007), Policies 3A.3, 4B.1 and 4B.8 of the London Plan, guidance within The London Plan Interim Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance, April 2010 and Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing (as amended) and the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Document HDAS: Residential Layouts."
