HILLINGDON UNITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN - London Borough ...

Pass and the new borough boundary along the Grand Union Canal. Given the derelict and damaged nature
of the land the Council has designated these adjoining areas as a 'Comprehensive Rehabilitation Area'
subject to Policy OL25. In respect of this Comprehensive Rehabilitation Area the Council will undertake
further studies in consultation with adjoining local authorities and will bring forward further proposals at
the appropriate time.
Powergen/Bulls Bridge Site, North Hyde Gardens, Hayes
15.27 The 10.8ha triangular area of land known as the Powergen/ Bulls Bridge site lies to the east of
Hayes Station wedged between the Paddington to Bristol railway line, the main arm of the Grand Union
Canal and the Paddington branch of the canal which incorporates the Bulls Bridge Conservation Area at the
eastern end. The Nestles factory complex to the south-west of the site is also designated a Conservation
Area. The majority of the site previously accommodated a power station but it is now largely open and
unused. Access to the site is restricted via North Hyde Gardens which has junctions with North Hyde Road
to the south and Nestles Avenue from the west.
15.28 Designated as an Industrial and Business Area, this site is identified as a major opportunity for
employment generating development in the Regeneration Strategy for the Hayes/West Drayton Corridor.
Development of this land should be on a comprehensive basis incorporating improvements to provide
operational access to the site which should accommodate at the same time the needs of Nestles, the
Conservation Area and canalside enhancement and environmental improvement to neighbouring residential
areas.

The Chestnuts, Barra Hall Park, Hayes
15.29 This site, of approx.0.86 hectares, lies in the Hayes Village Conservation Area at the north western
corner of Barra Hall Park. It adjoins Barra Hall, a listed building, and is presently occupied by a number of
temporary buildings used as Council offices, which have the benefit of planning permission. The
appearance of the buildings detracts from the setting of the listed Barra Hall. The park as a whole was
designated in earlier local plans as Metropolitan Open Land. However, the Council now considers that
having regard to its existing use, the site of The Chestnuts no longer contributes to Metropolitan Open Land
objectives and therefore the designation has been removed.
PR11 REDEVELOPMENT OF THE CHESTNUTS, BARRA HALL, HAYES, AS DEFINED ON
THE PROPOSALS MAP, FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES WILL BE REGARDED AS
ACCEPTABLE IN PRINCIPLE.
