| 1. | The original property had a gross internal floor area of less than 120sqm and therefore fails to meet the requirements of Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 8(i) and would therefore not be regarded as an appropriate for conversion as it would have a negative impact on the supply of family housing in the borough. |
| 2. | The intensification of the site would generate high levels of activity and result in an unacceptable impact on neighbouring residential occupiers in terms of noise and general disturbance associated with the proposed HMO use contrary to Policies 7 and 8 of the Havering Local Plan 2021. |
| 3. | The proposals fail to demonstrate adequate levels of off street parking. The nature of the HMO use by unrelated occupants combined with the level of occupancy is considered likely to lead to increased vehicle ownership and overspill which would contribute unacceptably to existing levels of parking stress and limited on-street spaces within the locality to the detriment of the amenity of surrounding occupiers. The absence of any compelling evidence otherwise, such as a parking stress survey, means that it has not been demonstrated that there would not be conflict with Policy 8, London Plan T6 and Para 115 of the Framework 2024. |
| 4. | The proposals fail to make adequate provision for the amenity of all occupants through the limited floor area of the
street-facing loft bedroom. The limited size of this room would represent a substandard arrangement which would not comply with the East London HMO Guidance to the detriment of the amenity of the occupier, thereby conflicting with the requirements of Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 8(vii). |
| 5. | 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, it was necessary to issue a decision as close to the statutory timeframe as possible as no amendment will address the policy objection. |
