Manor Waye homes plan refused

PLANS to build two houses at the back of a garden in Uxbridge has been dismissed following an appeal.

The first application for the land to the rear of Manor Waye was refused in April and developers believed they had a good chance of overturning the appeal.

However, it was judged by the planning inspector that to allow the building of two properties on the large garden would damage the character of the area, which is known for houses with long rear gardens which back onto open space.

It was also feared that more proposals on surrounding spaces would soon follow if this building on this site was permitted.

There was also concern raised over effects that there would be on nearby trees, and that the family houses could result in increased pressure on nearby school places, where there is already a shortfall.
