We the undersigned petition Hillingdon Council to Refuse planning application 35665/APP/2026/2243 at 105 Hayes End Road, Hayes, UB4 8EL, which proposes converting a single family house into an 8-bedroom, 8-person house in multiple occupation (HMO). The loss of this family home is unacceptable in principle, whatever the number of occupants.
We object to this application.
On 7 July 2026 the council refused an application for a 9-person
HMO at this property. This new application reduces the number of
occupants by one, but the main problems remain:
• Loss of a family home. The lawful use of the property is
a single family house. An 8-person HMO would still remove a family
home from the area. This was the council’s first reason for
refusing the previous scheme, and reducing occupancy by one person
does not change it.
• Over-intensive use. Eight unrelated adults living in one
house would bring a level of noise, comings and goings and garden
activity that is out of keeping with the surrounding houses and
would harm neighbours’ living conditions.
• Overdevelopment. The proposal keeps a first-floor rear
extension, together with roof extensions. The combined bulk of
these extensions was another reason the previous scheme was
refused.
• Retrospective development. The applicant has acknowledged
that the property was converted to HMO use and that the first-floor
extension was built without planning permission. The council has
already found that development unacceptable.
We ask the council to refuse this application and keep the
property as a family home.
