Two Hayes-based housing plans in final reckoning

Posted by Jack Griffith on Jan 20, 10 04:20 PM in Local Authority

THE fate of two large housing proposals for the Uxbridge Road are to be decided on.

An application for 505-509 Uxbridge Road, Hayes, at the junction with Grange Road, includes plans for 45 homes. A bigger proposal, for 70 flats, was refused last year.

The latest submission is recommended for approval subject to conditions, which includes a minimum allocation of 'affordable' housing, and financial contributions towards public services in the area.

Neighbours remain sceptical, and two petitions with more than 160 signatures cite overcrowding, road safety and a loss of privacy for nearby properties.

Another residential scheme, for 44 homes and parking at 15 Uxbridge Road - the derelict site of the former Waggon and Horses pub - has been recommended for refusal.

Hillingdon Council says the site is inappropriate for housing, and residents say it would be an eyesore and create noise.

Decisions on both applications are expected to be made on January 26.
