1.The cumulation of the rear dormer, the hip to gable extension and the rear extension by reason of its depth, bulk and mass would not appear suitably subservient to the scale of the existing building and it would appear as a dominant and bulky feature in the immediate area contrary to Policies 7 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan and the Council's Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document.
2.The proposal would, by reason of its depth, bulk and proximity to the shared boundary with the neighbouring first floor dwellings, be an intrusive, overbearing and unneighbourly development that would have a significant adverse effect on the amenities of the adjacent occupiers resulting in an increased sense of enclosure, loss of outlook and an overbearing impact contrary to Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document.
3.There would be an inadequate internal floor area and inadequate ceiling heights so it is considered that the proposed development would result in a poor quality living environment for future occupiers, resulting in substandard residential accommodation to the detriment of the amenity of future occupants of this proposed dwelling. The proposals would therefore be contrary to Policies 10, 7 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 and Policy D6 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.
