HILLINGDON UNITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN - London Borough ...

Land at Bourne Avenue, Hayes
15.23 This site of approximately 14 hectares is located east of the Yiewsley By-Pass at Stockley and
south of the Paddington - Bristol mainline railway. The route of the Heathrow Express Rail Link borders
the north east part of the site. Given its location in close proximity to the national motorway network (500
metres from the M4) and within 2km of Heathrow Airport, the site is considered to be of strategic
importance and potentially capable of accommodating development of strategic/regional and possibly even
national significance. It is also a major opportunity to stimulate regeneration in the Hayes/West Drayton
Corridor and should provide impetus to the proposed public transport infrastructure at Hayes Hub. (See
Chapters 2 and 14). Operational access would be from an improved junction with the Yiewsley By-Pass.
A planning brief will be prepared for this site as supplementary planning guidance. The Local Planning
Authority will assess any development proposed at Bourne Avenue against the following development
objectives:
(i) to seek to capitalise on the site's strategic location for attracting appropriate development of
regional/national significance;
(ii) to contribute positively to regeneration and employment opportunities in the
Hayes/West Drayton Corridor; and
(iii) to support the usage of and to make provision for public transport infrastructure.

STOCKLEY ROAD AS IDENTIFIED ON THE PROPOSALS MAP WILL BE REGARDED AS

convenience retailing as part of the overall scheme.
RAF West Drayton
15.24 Policy PR8 refers to an area of approximately 6.5 hectares at RAF West Drayton adjoining the
railway line to the north, the London Air and Terminal Control Centre to the east and residential properties
to the west. The MoD have declared the site surplus. Due to the effect any industrial or warehousing
redevelopment could have on residential amenity, the site is not considered suitable for industrial or
warehousing redevelopment. Access to the proposal site is via Porters Way. Due to the complex
configuration of the site, it is necessary to prepare clear advice regarding appropriate redevelopment of the
land. A Planning Brief has been prepared as Supplementary Planning Guidance.
