The Hillingdon Planning Committee is scheduled to convene on Tuesday 15 September 2026 to consider a range of planning applications. The committee's agenda includes discussions on the redevelopment of The Barn Hotel in Ruislip Manor, proposals for properties in Uxbridge and Colham & Cowley, and the continuation of use for a retail unit at Homebase Victoria Retail Park in South Ruislip. Additionally, the committee will review plans for Holland and Holland Shooting School in Northwood, an extension to the Novotel in Heathrow Villages, and landscaping works near Abbotswood Way in Wood End.

The Barn Hotel Redevelopment

A significant item on the agenda is the proposed partial demolition and conversion of The Barn Hotel¹ in Ruislip Manor², a Grade II listed building³. The plans outline the conversion of the existing listed buildings to provide three dwellings, alongside the demolition and redevelopment of the remainder of the site for residential use. This would result in the creation of 71 new residential units, ranging from one to four bedrooms. The proposal also includes associated access, infrastructure, and landscaping works, with a new access point planned off Garden Close⁴. The report pack indicates a recommendation for approval, subject to a Section 106 legal agreement⁵ and conditions. This agreement would cover aspects such as affordable housing⁶ viability reviews, the delivery of approved listed building works, and financial contributions towards health infrastructure, air quality mitigation, carbon offsetting, and public open space⁷.

Other Planning Applications

The committee is also scheduled to consider several other planning applications. These include:

13 Clammas Way, Uxbridge⁸

Plans for the subdivision of a property into two two-bedroom flats, with associated amenity space, refuse, and cycle parking. The proposal also includes a part single-storey, part two-storey extension to the side and rear, and the conversion of the roof space to habitable use, incorporating a rear dormer and roof lights. The officer's recommendation is for approval, subject to conditions.

42 Pield Heath Road, Colham & Cowley⁹

This application concerns a proposed first-floor rear extension to create additional rooms and a single-storey rear infill extension to provide an accessible room. Amended drawings have been submitted for consideration. The recommendation is for approval, subject to conditions.

Homebase Victoria Retail Park, South Ruislip¹⁰

The committee will review a proposal for the continuation of use as a retail unit (Class E(a), including food sales). This includes external alterations to the unit's elevations, demolition of the existing garden centre structure, provision of a plant area, installation of new trolley bays in the car park, cycle parking, and other associated works. The recommendation is for approval, subject to conditions.

Holland and Holland Shooting School, Northwood¹¹

Plans are to be discussed for the demolition of existing site buildings (excluding a retained central timber-framed barn), removal of hardstanding including a menage, a change of use of part of the land to a workshop (Use Class E(g)(iii)), and the redevelopment of previously developed land to provide a workshop building. This also includes associated parking, landscaping, formation of a pond, regrading of land levels, improvements to the existing access, sustainable drainage measures, and on-site biodiversity net gain enhancements. The recommendation is for approval, subject to conditions.

Novotel, Heathrow Villages¹²

A retrospective application seeks permission for the erection of a new four-storey hotel extension building with accommodation at roof and basement levels, providing 128 rooms. It includes a covered link bridge to the existing hotel building and associated ancillary works. The recommendation is to approve, subject to a Section 106 legal agreement¹³ and conditions. The agreement would secure contributions towards an employment strategy and training scheme, air quality mitigation, a Hoppa Bus strategy, and Active Travel Zone improvements.

Land to the West of Abbotswood Way, Wood End¹⁴

The committee will consider proposals for new landscaping and public realm works. The recommendation is for approval, subject to conditions.
