Ruislip house plan refused
ANTI-garden grabbing campaigners have won the battle against a plan to build a house at the back of a property in Ruislip.
The application to build a two storey, two-bedroom detached house behind 8 Kingsend was refused at Hillingdon Council's North Planning Committee last night (Tues).
Two petitions, with a total of 52 signatures, and 11 letters objecting to the plans were sent to the council.
As well as garden grabbing the petitioners believed the house would be over dominant, out of keeping with the area, and the proposed access to it would result in noise, fumes, pollution and light.
Speaking at the meeting, Councillor David Allam, said: "I have never seen anything like it before and have no problem refusing this application."
Clive Pigram, a Ruislip conservation area advisory member, said: "I don't think I could have designed anything as bad as this."

Members of Ruislip Golf Club would like local residents to know of a planning application by Top Golf. Basically they propose to commandeer 4 holes of the existing golf club to run a 10 acre site. They put the application in before Xmas and it closes in 7 days time.
This has not been opposed by the new lessees of RGC (MacTrading) - why not?
Are they part of Top Golf?
The existing golf club which has been there since 1936 and the grounds should be covered by a covenant but this appears to be going to be overidden. If the 18 hole course is taken over in this way what can then stop further developers from using the remaining 14 holes which would then not be recognised as an official golf course?
