THE former special needs day centre in Honeycroft Hill, Uxbridge, is to be redeveloped after councillors approved plans for the scheme last night (Tuesday).

After satisfying themselves about appropriate glazing, parking provision and the safeguarding of badger foraging in the site, members of Hillingdon Council's major applications planning committee approved the 36 dwelling development to be run by Paradigm Housing, 20 of the homes as 'affordable housing' and 16 for special needs occupants.
