Subject: 22/2204/FUL - Objection

Address: St Clare Business Park and 7 - 11 Windmill Road Hampton Hill.

Proposal: Demolition of existing buildings and erection of 1no. mixed use building between three and 
five storeys plus basement in height, comprising 98no. residential flats (Class C3) and 1,172sq.m of 
commercial floorspace (Class E); 1no. three storey building comprising 893sq.m of commercial 
floorspace (Class E); 14no. residential houses (Class C3); and, associated access, external landscaping 
and car parking.

Name: Mr and Mrs B. Croney 

Address: 54 St James’s Avenue, Hampton Hill, TW12 1HN

Objection:
As previously documented in objections to the previous application for this site, the following issues 
remain:
1.	Excessive number of units for the local area.
2.	The proposal needs to satisfy the urgent requirement of genuinely affordable housing.
3.	The building B1 is unacceptably high at 5 stories and sets a very negative precedent for the 
future of Hampton Hill village.
4.	The external finish of the domestic buildings does not harmonise with the local character of the 
Victorian and Edwardian buildings that surrounds it. A significant visual quality improvement 
would be needed to mitigate this style of construction.
5.	The on-site car parking provision is unrealistically low.
6.	The EV charging provision is very unambitious. (How about V2G? No mention in the application)
7.	The increased traffic flows on the site feeder roads will be a significant problem. (For instance, 
with the increased volume of traffic, we fear that grid lock will occur in Windmill Road when the 
proposed alternating double yellow lines are installed between the Uxbridge Road and the 
former Windmill PH)

We urge the planning committee to take our objections as listed 1 to 7 above into consideration and 
reject this application.
