However, reasons for refusal needed to be robust and refusal on parking grounds alone may be overturned at appeal.
It was noted that a potential redevelopment of Hillingdon Hospital would likely include additional parking spaces.
Members asked about planting trees and natural electricity. Officers noted that there was a landscaping condition including a replanting scheme. There were also biodiversity net gain requirements.
