Hillingdon Hospital
15.41 The Hillingdon Hospital site comprises two main sites on either side of Pield Heath Road and a
third smaller site fronting Colham Road. It is bounded to the west by Royal Lane and to the east by
Colham Road and Colham Green Road. The main sites have been substantially developed over the past
fifty years. Given the recent National Health Service (NHS) reforms and mindful that Hillingdon Hospital
recently achieved NHS Trust status, it is considered essential to prepare clear advice with regard to the
appropriate future development of the site. A planning brief is required to guide development and will take
into account:-
(i) the needs of Hillingdon Hospital NHS Trust in seeking to provide better health care and
improved services to patients;
(ii) the views of local residents;
(iii) the need to make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area;
(iv) policies of this plan which relate to the site.

Brunel University
15.42 Brunel University's Uxbridge campus is 70ha in extent and comprises four parcels of land all
within the Green Belt. The main built-up campus site is located between Cleveland Road and Kingston
Lane (Site 2) with additional facilities set in predominantly open land between Cleveland Road and Cowley
Road (Site 1). The two remaining parcels lie to the east (Site 3) and to the south (Site 5) of the main builtup
campus and are open land used for sporting activities. In order to reconcile Green Belt, ecological and
amenity objectives with the University's desire to expand, the Council prepared a Planning Brief which was
adopted as supplementary planning guidance in September 1991. In 1992 outline planning permission was
granted for the University's Master Plan which indicates the planned growth in facilities over the next 10
years. Any proposals for development should take into account the objectives and policies for the site as
set out in the approved Planning Brief and PPG2, notably paragraphs C3 to C8 of Annex C. The site is
