No.Condition Text
1.The proposed side extension would, by reason of its height and proximity to the ground floor flat at no.21 Mawney Road, give rise to an intrusive and overbearing form of development that is disproportionate to the host dwelling, appearing bulky and out of character in the streetscene, as well as being intrusive and overbearing in relation to the ground floor flat at no.21 Mawney Road and materially harmful to amenity and contrary to Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document.
2.The substandard bedroom sizes in the ground floor 2-bedroom flat, the arrangement of living areas next to bedrooms at the adjoining flats at no.17 and no.17a Mawney Road, combined with poor quality outlook from bedrooms and the positioning of access to the rear amenity area next to and above bedrooms would give rise to a poor quality living environment for the future occupiers of the flats, contrary to Policy 7 and 9 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 and Policy D6 of the London Plan.
3.The proposed development would fail to make provision for a family dwelling of at least three bedrooms. In the circumstances, there is a loss of a family unit contrary to Policy 9 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031.
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.
