We object to the proposal on many grounds. Key points are as
follows:
• The site is within the Ruislip Village Conservation Area
and, under Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and
Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the council has a statutory duty to
preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation
zone. This does not achieve that requirement.
• There would be visual harm to the setting of Manor Farm
(Grade II* and Grade II listed buildings) and the War Memorial
(heritage asset of high significance).
• Highway problems would occur due to the re-alignment of the
car park by moving the entrance much closer to Eastcote Road, a
busy junction at any time of the day with a roundabout and a zebra
crossing close by.
• The architectural massing of these buildings is not in
keeping with the surrounding area of St. Martins Approach / Moat
Drive where the dwellings are, mostly, detached with eight large
semi-detached houses.
• Parking provision would be much reduced in the St. Martins
Approach car park, which is frequently full to capacity. This, plus
the anticipated extra parking requirement of the additional houses
proposed, would have an adverse effect in an already heavily
congested area.
On reaching 20 signatures it may be considered in conjunction with the relevant live planning application at an upcoming Committee meeting. The Council's Democratic Services Team will be in touch with the lead petitioner to advise and take this petition forward accordingly.
