| 1. | The proposed development through the arrangement of built form and massing, relationship to shared boundaries and layout would present as visually cramped and would not respect the existing grain of the area. This would be exacerbated by overall height and footprint of the development in conjunction with limited plot sizes. The proposals would neither reflect existing local character and patterns of development, nor introduce positive new character. The proposals would therefore be contrary to Policies 7, 10 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 and also Paragraph 135 of the NPPF which amongst other considerations requires fundamentally that development add to the overall quality of the area whilst also establishing or maintaining a strong sense of place. |
| 2. | Outlook from accommodation in the roof would have clear and unimpeded views over rear gardens of properties fronting Dymoke and similarly to those with outlook over Craigdale. This would lead to loss of privacy and would be detrimental to the amenity and enjoyment of these properties in a manner inconsistent with local character and surrounding patterns of development. Similar confined relationships are not observed within the locality. The proposals are therefore contrary to Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policies 7, 26 and 34. 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. | In the case of each of the dwellings it has not been demonstrated that the residential experience would be suitably high. Owing to the development footprint and high prospective occupancy the dwellings are limited in plot size/depth and this would translate to inadequate outlook and a sense of enclosure from inside and outside spaces. These factors contribute to the development resulting in substandard residential accommodation to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers and 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. |
| 4. | In the absence of a mechanism to prevent future occupiers from obtaining residents parking permits, it has not been demonstrated that the development proposals would not give rise to increased competition for limited on-street parking spaces which would be detrimental to the amenity of surrounding occupants who may experience existing parking stress 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 23 and 24, the London Plan T6 and Paragraph 116 of the National Planning Poloicy 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 the agent in writing 14-08-2025 |
