No.Condition Text
1.The communal amenity space for a 10 bedroom HMO is of poor quality and usability and inadequate to meet the needs of future occupiers given its limited depth and size, harmful to the amenity of future occupiers contrary to Policies 7 and 8 of the Havering Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
2.Ten car parking spaces in the rear garden of the site would exceed the maximum car parking provision of up to 0.5 spaces per dwelling. Due to their siting and proximity to the south western boundary of the site, the rear parking would lead to noise and disturbance in the rear garden harmful to the amenity of neighbouring properties, particularly No. 86 Eastern Road, contrary to the aim of the Mayor to reduce car use and contrary to Policies 7, 8, 24 and 34 of the Havering Local Plan, Policies D14 and T6.1 of the London Plan and the guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
3.The proposal would not provide adequate servicing arrangements for a change of use from a HMO (Use Class C4) to a HMO (Sui Generis), contrary to Policies 8, 24 and 35 of the Havering Local Plan, Policy D6 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
4.Ten car parking spaces would lead to significantly greater use of the inadequate access and would increase danger to pedestrians given limited visibility contrary to Policies 23 and 24 of the Havering Local Plan, Policy T4 of the London Plan and 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 Barker Parry Town Planning Ltd via email on 11th July 2025.
