Local residents were not originally given an opportunity to object to the use of Hillingdon House as a restaurant. Most residents were only aware of Hillingdon House being used as offices. In particular, new build houses within ten metres of the restaurant should have been consulted with prior to permission being granted. Now that it is in development, we'd hope the Council will protect the rights and uphold our concerns, by providing assurances that noise, smell, parking and traffic impact will be minimised with the appropriate controls. We understand that the development owner has similar food & entertainment venues, and residences close to those have constantly suffered parking issues, increased crime and noise - such as residents close to Tamara Lounge.
In addition, there have been recent planning applications to add
an exhaust vent and LPG gas storage to Hillingdon House. Local
residents only received letters few days before comments deadline,
and therefore residents were again not given a fair say. The LPG
gas storage is not needed for offices & restaurant, and is
dangerous to be stored so close to property borders. The noise and
smell impact of the restaurant vent was not detailed in the
planning application by the development, and residents would like
further information on this aspect.
On reaching 20 signatures it will be formally considered by the Council and relevant Cabinet Member. Local ward Councillors will also be made aware of the petition. The Council's Democratic Services Team will keep the lead petitioner updated on progress.
