| 1. | The side/rear extension, by reason of its bulk, volume and footprint, results in disproportionate additions to the original house over and above its original form and therefore materially harms the character and openness of the Metropolitan Green Belt. No very special circumstances to justify such harm have been submitted with the application. Due to the cumulative depth of extensions to the dwelling when joined to the existing extensions, the extension also forms a visually intrusive feature with the rear garden scene of the host dwelling that is to the detriment of the character and appearance of this modest bungalow and visual amenity of the locality. The extension is therefore considered to be contrary to the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies D4 and G2 of the London Plan, Policies 7 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document. |
| 2. | The proposed change of use would not be acceptable in principle because there is not an identified need for the a supported living scheme for up to 7 individuals within the borough, with a PTAL of 1a the site is not well served by public transport and does not have good access to essential services and shops. Further, insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the site would be suitable for its intended occupiers in terms of internal and external amenity space, that consideration has been given to future needs and the development can be easily adapted to meet the needs of future occupants or whether the site would not have an unacceptable impact on parking conditions and traffic congestion in the area or provide adequate provision for visitor and carer parking facilities. It is also considered that the premises would not provide an appropriate level of amenity space is provided to meet the needs of the intended occupants and accordingly the proposed development would be contrary to Local Plan Policies 6 (parts i, ii, iii, v, vi and vii). |
| 3. | The proposed change of use would, by reason of the likely activity within the restricted rear garden space of the premises, give rise to noise and disturbance that would have detrimental to the amenity of the surrounding neighbouring dwellings. Accordingly the proposed development would be contrary to Local Plan Policies 6 (part viii), 7 and 34. |
| 4. | Statement Required by Article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015: Consideration was given to seeking amendments, but given conflict with adopted planning policy, notification of intended refusal and the reasons for it was given to the agent by e-mail on 03/10/2025. |
