The London Borough Of Havering - Home page

No.Condition Text
1.The original dwelling has a gross internal floor space of 85 square metres, which fails to meet the standard of 120 square metres and no family accommodation with direct access into the garden is provided at ground floor level, which is contrary to Policies 7 and 9 of the Havering Local Plan. The proposal would therefore have an adverse impact on the supply of family housing within the Borough, the loss of which is not adequately justified, and which could set an undesirable precedent for similar development in the locality.
2.The layout of the Flat B will be inadequate resulting in substandard accommodation for existing/future residents through insufficient overall floorspace for a 3b/4p flat and no direct access into the rear garden and the development will therefore give rise to a poor design and substandard residential accommodation, harmful to the amenities of the occupiers. As a result, the development would be contrary to Policies 7 and 9 of the Havering Local Plan and Policy D6 of the London Plan.
3.This application is subject to a Planning Enforcement investigation, and given the refusal of this application, you advised that formal enforcement action will be taken.
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 and as no amendments were identified that could overcome the adverse impacts of the development the application has proceeded to be determined as submitted.
