1.The proposed dwellings, through their siting, scale, bulk and mass, would close down and overwhelm the spacious corner location and would therefore appear as an overbearing, cramped form of development within the locality. This, together with having widths that would be narrower than that of the donor neighbouring dwellings, would give rise to developments that would appear as incongruous, visually intrusive and out of character with the prevailing pattern of development. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policies 10, 7 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 and also Paragraph 130(a) of the NPPF which requires fundamentally that development add to the overall quality of the area whilst also establishing or maintaining a strong sense of place.
2.The proposed development would, by reason of its lack of storage space, result in a low quality design that would be to the detriment of future occupants, contrary to the provisions of Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031.
3.In the event that this application is allowed through the appeals process the proposals would be liable for the following CIL contributions: Mayoral CIL (MCIL2) contribution of £3,175 (x £25 per sqm). Havering CIL (HCIL) contribution of £15,875 (x £125 per sqm) Each contribution would be subject to indexation.
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, notification of intended refusal and the reason(s) for it was given to the agent in writing on 31/10/2023.
