The London Borough Of Havering - Home page

No.Condition Text
1.The original dwelling has a gross internal floor space of approximately 91.56 square metres, which fails to meet the standard of 120 square metres contrary to Policy 8 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 ground floor bedroom to the front of the dwelling would have a gross internal area of 8.1 square metres would fail to meet the gross internal floor space of 8.5 square metres for one occupier as outlined within the East London HMO Guidance and therefore it would be harmful to the amenity of future occupiers contrary to Policy 8 of the Havering Local Plan and the HMO East London Guidance.
3.The poor layout of the site creates conditions that result in undue overlooking and loss of privacy to the ground floor bedroom to the rear of the site of the HMO from the communal rear garden, which provides a poor quality living environment harmful to the amenity of existing occupiers contrary to Policies 7 and 8 of the Havering Local Plan and the guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
4.In the absence of any demonstration, it is considered that the change of use is likely to result in increased demand for parking in the vicinity of the site and result in increased parking congestion in surrounding streets, contrary to Policies 8 and 24 of the Havering Local Plan, Policy T6.1 of the London Plan and the guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
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, notification of intended refusal and the reason(s) for it was given to Mr Sanjeevanvia email on 30/06/26.
