E-Petitions

This hot food takeaway would bring more traffic, road-safety risks, noise, waste and disturbance to a stretch of Uxbridge Road that residents already experience as heavily congested. Please sign to ask Hillingdon Council to refuse planning application 72098/APP/2026/2117.

We, the undersigned residents of the London Borough of Hillingdon, including residents living near and regularly using Delamere Road, Springfield Road, Hayes Bridge, Uxbridge Road and The Broadway, object to this application because:

1. More traffic on an already congested road
We already experience heavy congestion and queues along this part of Uxbridge Road and The Broadway, especially at busy times. A takeaway would add customer cars, collection drivers, delivery riders, servicing vehicles and refuse collections. Vehicles waiting to get in or out of the site could queue back around the Quality Foods access and onto Uxbridge Road, creating a bottleneck for general traffic and buses.

2. More pressure on a difficult junction
The access serving Quality Foods is close to the Delamere Road, Uxbridge Road and The Broadway junction, where drivers already struggle with turning traffic. More customers, riders and service vehicles turning in and out would increase the risk to motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and bus users.

3. Pedestrian safety
Shoppers, families and people walking to the bus stops use the footways around the Quality Foods site. We are concerned about more vehicles and delivery riders crossing pedestrian routes and manoeuvring around people on foot.

4. Anti-social behaviour and safety
We are worried that a takeaway in a car park would attract people and riders waiting around, engines idling, noise and anti-social behaviour, especially if trading hours were later extended into the evening. This would make the area feel less safe for adults, and more so for children walking to and from school, the shops and the bus stops.

5. Drains and our local waterways
Frying produces fats, oils, grease and food waste, which can block drains, causing overflows and bad smells. Yeading Brook and the Grand Union Canal run close to this site, and we do not want them put at risk.

6. Litter, food waste and rats
Takeaway packaging and food waste would add to litter on the footways, the service road and our residential streets, and could attract rats and other pests.

7. Cooking smells and fumes
Frying fumes from a roof flue on a small container would drift across the footway, the store entrance and nearby homes.

For these reasons, we ask Hillingdon Council to REFUSE planning application 72098/APP/2026/2117.
