1.The proposal would not comply with the objectives of Policy 9 of the Havering Local Plan 2021, especially subsections (ii) and (iii) through having limited internal floor area of less than 120 sq.m in the original dwelling, the 3-bedroom unit would not be on the ground floor and the 3-bedroom unit would have an absence of direct access to private, good quality, usable amenity space.
2.The proposed layout, with the kitchen and living area of the ground floor flat partly underneath a bedroom of the top flat, would be a poor arrangement and create potential for undue noise and disturbance and loss of amenity of this flat, as well as the 3-bedroom unit not being appropriately located on the ground floor with the unpractical functionality and access of the rear garden would give rise to a poor quality living environment for future occupiers of the flats, contrary to Policy 7 and 9 of the Havering Local Plan 2021 and Policy D6 of the London Plan.
3.The proposal would provide an unsatisfactory arrangement for parking for the scheme, leading to an increase of on-road parking in the area detrimental to highway safety contrary to Policy 24 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan and Policy T6 of the London Plan.
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, it was necessary to issue a decision as close to the statutory timeframe as possible as opposed to seeking amendments which would have significantly delayed the application.
