SUPPORTING INFORMATION
1. Sandy Lodge Way is a Borough Secondary Distributor Road in Northwood. The road
connects to Dene Road on the southbound and Batchworth Lane on the northbound. The
current speed limit on this road is 30mph.
2. The Council has received an application for developing a two-storey building with habitable
roof space to create 3no. x two-bed self-contained flats and 1no. x three-bed self-contained
flat with forecourt car parking, cycle parking, new vehicular access and amenity space
following demolition of the existing dwelling.
3. To provide a domestic vehicle footway crossover for the proposed development , an
existing Zone N permit holder parking place outside 11 Sandy Lodge Way has to be
relocated; the new location would be just to the side of the driveway serving 9 Sandy Lodge
Way.
4. Statutory consultation was carried out to facilitate the proposed relocation of the Zone N
permit holder parking place outside 11 Sandy Lodge Way. During this period, street notices
were erected and public notices were placed in the London Gazette and a local newspaper.
5. During the 21-day formal consultation, a resident who lives on Sandy Lodge Way objected
to the relocation of the parking bay on the basis that it w ould impair the ability to exit an
adjacent driveway, thereby presenting a heightened road safety risk. Attached as Appendix
A to this report is a plan of the proposed changes outside 11 Sandy Lodge Way.
Cabinet Member Report – 14 December 2022 Page 3
(Part 1 Public)
6. The objector stated " I would like to strongly object to the relocation on the basis that it will
impair our ability to exit our drive, thereby posing a significant danger to our family and
other road users. The proposed new location will make it extremely difficult to exit our drive
safely and even more so when reversing out, which my elderly mother and other visitors
regularly have to do due to the lack of space to turnaround in our drive. As you may be
aware, the proposed development at 11 Sandy Lodge Way is for the construction of flats,
thereby offering a high likelihood the parking permit space will be utilised regularly. Being
so close to the boundary of our property, with just a narrow gap to the permit space in front
of our property, and a single vehicle gap to the permit spaces on the other side of the road,
will make it near impossible to exit when they are in use (in fact, I recently wrote to the
council to have the space in front of our property reduced/removed due to this very issue).
We have two young children and therefore we are utilising the drive at the busiest times of
the day.”
7. Following investigation, officers have carefully reviewed the comments received during the
statutory consultation. Sandy Lodge Way is a wide straight road with wide footways that
provide good sight lines for drivers. Relocating the existing vehicle crossover would not
present a risk to road safety and it is recommended that the Cabinet Member approves the
recommendation of this report to proceed with the amendments outside 11 Sandy Lodge
Way as proposed.
Financial Implications
The cost associated with the recommendations to this report is estimated at £1,000 and will be
managed within existing revenue budgets for the Transportation Service.
RESIDENT BENEFIT & CONSULTATION
The benefit or impact upon Hillingdon residents, service users and communities
The relocation of permit holders parking place would retain a car parking space on the street
without compromising road safety.
Consultation carried out or required
Statutory consultation was carried out between 4th August to 25th August 2021 by the insertion
of public notices in a local newspaper, the London Gazette and displayed on site.
No further consultation is required; however, a final notice of making will be required if the Cabinet
Member decides to approve the recommendations of this report.
