improvements, and environmental improvements to the open land bounded by Park Road, the A40 and railway line. This Council is seeking, in co-operation with the private sector, a development including a sports/leisure complex, and enabling development if appropriate. Any development should take into account the criteria set out in the Planning Brief, the key elements of which are reflected in the following proposal. PR24 AN INDOOR SPORTS AND LEISURE COMPLEX WITH ASSOCIATED CAR PARKING WILL BE REGARDED IN PRINCIPLE AS ACCEPTABLE ON OR ADJOINING THE SWIMMING POOL SITE AT HILLINGDON HOUSE FARM SUBJECT TO: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) COMPREHENSIVE LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS ON GREEN BELT LAND TO THE EAST, PROVISION OF FOOTPATHS AND CYCLE WAYS, BRIDLEWAYS IF APPROPRIATE, AND FACILITIES FOR OUTDOOR SPORT AND INFORMAL RECREATION; NEW DEVELOPMENT BEING INTENSIVELY LANDSCAPED SO THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT VIEWS ACROSS THE SITE ARE RETAINED AND ENHANCED. DEVELOPMENT IS DEPENDENT UPON THE PRINCIPAL VEHICULAR ACCESS BEING FROM PARK ROAD, UXBRIDGE. IF THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC GENERATED BY DEVELOPMENT SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEEDS PRESENT LEVELS, IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE PROPOSALS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON COMPLETION OF APPROPRIATE IMPROVEMENTS TO PARK ROAD. REPLACEMENT OR ENHANCEMENT OF CAR PARKING FOR UXBRIDGE COLLEGE IF THE EXISTING COLLEGE CAR PARK IS DEVELOPED AS PART OF THE ABOVE SPORTS AND LEISURE COMPLEX. 3. RUISLIP/NORTHWOOD PLANNING AREA 15.46 The Ruislip/Northwood area provides a pleasant residential environment characterised by areas of suburban housing surrounded by large areas of Green Belt and other open space. Most of Ruislip Woods SSSI, the largest block of woodlands in Greater London, lies within the area and is of great importance for both nature conservation and recreation. Battle of Britain House, Ruislip 15.47 The site of Battle of Britain House, Ducks Hill Road, Ruislip, approximately 2.1 hectares in extent, stands in mature woodlands on the edge of Ruislip Woods and forms part of a much larger Green Belt area. The property which formerly occupied the site was originally a country house, but was taken over during World War II for military use. It was later used as a College of Further Education, until a fire destroyed the main house in 1984. The cleared site is now regenerating naturally, with just the derelict shell of the former annex remaining. Notwithstanding the previous use of the site, it is the Council's intention that it be restored to woodland and managed as part of the adjoining Copsewood. Both Copsewood and the site of Battle of Britain House have been identified by the London Ecology Unit as a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation, and the former is part of the Ruislip Woods SSSI. The Council will give its consideration to the designation and management of the woodland (including the site of Battle of Britain House) as a Local Nature Reserve. PR25 THE SITE OF BATTLE OF BRITAIN HOUSE, DUCKS HILL ROAD, RUISLIP IS TO BE RESTORED TO WOODLAND AND MANAGED AS A LOCAL NATURE RESERVE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ADJOINING WOODLAND. London Borough of Hillingdon Unitary Development Plan
Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood 15.48 Rationalisation and redevelopment of some of the existing buildings is being undertaken. In light of PPG(2) revised (1995), a planning brief will be prepared for any future redevelopment proposals. St. Vincents Hospital, Northwood Hills 15.49 St. Vincent's Hospital is located within the Green Belt on the edge of the residential area of Northwood Hills. It has an area of approximately 8.17 hectares and occupies two distinct plots on either side of Wiltshire Lane. The relief of the site is such that the land rises steeply to the crest of Haste Hill to the north. The change in levels and generally elevated level of the site means that the hospital occupies a prominent position both locally and from more distant views. Much of the hospital comprises old buildings which are inadequate to serve current medical purposes, and their condition is such that the hospital needs to undertake a substantial development programme to replace and modernise buildings. Given these conditions, and taking account of the Borough's housing needs identified in Chapter 7 of this plan, the Council regards obsolete buildings as suitable for redevelopment for health and residential purposes, and wishes to act in partnership with the Hospital Trust in securing a phased redevelopment of the site. Supplementary Planning Guidance is to be prepared which will have regard to advice set out in PPG2 - Annex C and would seek to ensure that redevelopment had less visual impact on the openness of the Green Belt than existing development. In landscape terms, there is a substantial advantage in achieving the removal of buildings from the top of Haste Hill with the concentration of hospital development on the western part of the site and residential development being located near the foot of the hill. The site is identified as a major developed site (see Table 3.3 of this Plan) for the purposes of PPG2 Annex C. PR26 REDEVELOPMENT OF LAND AT ST. VINCENT’S HOSPITAL, NORTHWOOD HILLS, AS DEFINED ON THE PROPOSALS MAP, FOR HEALTH AND RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES SET OUT IN PPG2 (ANNEX C) SHALL BE REGARDED AS APPROPRIATE. IN PARTICULAR, PROPOSALS SHOULD: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) FACILITATE THE OPERATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE HOSPITAL; HAVE LESS VISUAL IMPACT ON THE OPENNESS OF THE GREEN BELT THAN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT; NOT OCCUPY A LARGER GROUND AREA THAN EXISTING BUILDINGS ON THE SITE; NOT EXCEED THE HEIGHT OF EXISTING BUILDINGS ON THE SITE; BE OF A HIGH QUALITY OF DESIGN WHICH MAINTAINS AND UTILISES EXISTING LANDSCAPE FEATURES; HAVE REGARD TO THE COMMUNITY’S NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING; AND HAVE REGARD TO THE NATURE CONSERVATION VALUE OF THE SITE, PARTICULARLY THAT OF THE MEADOW ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF WILTSHIRE LANE WHICH IS A BOROUGH GRADE II SITE OF NATURE CONSERVATION IMPORTANCE.
