| 1. | The original property had a gross internal floor area of less than 120sqm and therefore fails to meet the floor area requirements of Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policies 8 and 9 respectively 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 subdivision of the site gives rise to cramped accommodation, room shapes and size along the western wall in particular are constrained and through being situated either side of the main communal entrance bedrooms 1 and 3 would not receive sufficient privacy and be impacted on by comings and goings and use of the communal entrance. This would be exacerbated by the high prospective occupancy and type of accommodation provided in the upper floors. The rear amenity area/flat roofed projection would also be overlooked from first floor windows. These factors contribute to a substandard residential accommodation at odds with surrounding patterns of development and detrimental to the amenity of future occupiers, therefore contrary to the objectives of Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 7 and London Plan Policy D6. There would also be conflict with Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework which seeks to ensure a high standard of amenity for existing and future occupiers. |
| 3. | The proposals do not comply with Havering Local Plan Policy 8(vi) as there would be no communal space provided. Accordingly the proposals fail to make adequate provision for the amenity of all prospective occupants and conflict with the requirements of Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 8. As genuinely self-contained units there would be non compliance with Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031. |
| 4. | The scale of the proposed subdivision is regarded as being out of keeping with established residential character of the locality and would form a conspicuous feature in an area characterised by single dwellings with proportionate levels of occupation. The increased density proposed would be disproportionate in scale for a single terraced dwelling and would be at odds with prevailing patterns of development, thereby conflicting with surrounding land uses and having an adverse impact on the surrounding area contrary to the objectives of Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policies 8 and 9 as in addition to the the London Plan and NPPF, in particular Para 135 which requires development add to the overall quality of the area and establish or maintain a strong sense of place whilst being sympathetic to local character. |
| 5. | The development by reason of its housing typology, the siting of the property and the nature of subdivision proposed and resultant high prospective occupancy result in significantly higher levels of comings / goings and intensive activity over and above that of a single dwelling house resulting in a detrimental impact to the amenity of adjoining residents from noise and disturbance associated. The development would therefore be contrary to Policies 7, 8, 9 and 34 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031. |
| 6. | The subdivision of the site in the way sought combined with high levels of unrelated occupants and the occupancy of the ground floor dwelling combined would lead to increased vehicle ownership over the existing lawful use of the property. It has not been demonstrated that adequate off-street provision would be made and in the absence of any compelling evidence otherwise, such as a parking stress survey, it has not been demonstrated that there would not be conflict with Policy 8(iv). This development would accordingly be detrimental to the amenity of surrounding occupiers through increased competition for limited on street parking spaces and may also give rise to concerns relating to highway and pedestrians safety and the free flow of the road traffic network thereby contrary to Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policies 7, 8, 9, 23 and 24, the London Plan T6 and Paragraph 116 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 7. | 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 the agent in writing 22-08-2025 |
