conversion of a front garage into habitable space
Hillingdon Council recently approved a proposal for the conversion of a front garage into habitable space at a Northwood property.
Hillingdon Planning Committee approved a proposal in July 2026 to convert a front garage into habitable space at 8 Kiln Way, Northwood. The approved plans include a front porch extension and the addition of side windows, with the converted area intended for use as a partial office and utility room.
The decision by Hillingdon Council concerned a residential development project involving the conversion of an existing front attached garage. A key condition of the approval was the retention of the existing garage doors, despite the change to habitable use.
