Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Hillingdon and are not the council. About us
The Hillingdon Planning Committee convened on Tuesday, 14 July 2026, to discuss and decide on a range of planning applications. Key decisions included the deferral of an application at 44 Murray Road, Northwood, for a site visit, and the approval of multiple residential developments and enhancements to existing recreational facilities across the borough.
44 Murray Road, Northwood - Application Deferred for Site Visit
The committee resolved to defer the decision on the application for the demolition of an existing bungalow and the erection of a two-storey building containing five self-contained flats at 44 Murray Road, Northwood. This decision was made to allow for a site visit, following concerns raised by residents and a ward councillor regarding the development's impact on daylight, sunlight, parking, and the overall character of the area. Councillor Darran Davies proposed the site visit, which was seconded, and the committee agreed to revisit the application after the visit to gain a clearer understanding of the site's context and potential impacts.
Approved Planning Applications
The committee approved several applications, including:
- 15 Kewferry Road, Northwood: Permission was granted for the erection of a first-floor rear extension.
- 8 Kiln Way, Northwood: The conversion of a front-attached garage to habitable use, along with a front porch extension and the retention of existing garage doors, was approved.
- 54 High Street, Ruislip: A change of use application for part of the ground floor and the first floor from financial and professional services to residential, along with roof alterations to create an additional floor of residential accommodation, was approved. Councillor Philip Corthorne declared a non-pecuniary interest in agenda item 9, leaving the room for its discussion and voting.
- Premier Inn, 3 Riverside Way, Uxbridge: Permission was granted for a partial change of use of the hotel restaurant, construction of a new rear extension to provide additional hotel bedrooms, and conversion of the former B-feater restaurants to hotel rooms.

- 266-278 Yeading Lane, Hayes: The committee approved an application for partial demolition, a two-storey upward extension, and internal works to provide 14 residential units. Councillor Armand-Balala moved for approval, citing the provision of much-needed housing and no unacceptable planning harm.
- Former NCP Car Park, Bath Road, Sipson: A hybrid application for a mixed-use sustainable vehicle parking facility and food and beverage unit (Phase 1), with outline permission for a future extension (Phase 2), was approved. Councillor Shehryar Ahmad-Wallana warmly welcomed the application and moved for approval.
- 107 Newdigate Road East, Harefield: The rebuilding of a single-storey store with a cavity wall and increased height to create a wet room was approved. Councillor Darran Davies moved for approval, noting the benefit to a resident of the borough.
