1.Through the design concept progressed the proposed dwellings would disrupt the rhythm of the proposed terraced row and would fail to reflect the character of the existing property and this part of Essex Close, with one of the dwellings reading as a conspicuously narrow dwelling with a constrained frontage. The proposals are considered to be contrary to the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD, the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policies 7 and 26, as well as the NPPF which requires fundamentally that development add to the overall quality of the area and maintain a strong sense of place.
2.The proposed development, by reason of its scale, bulk and mass, in particular the resultant width of the development and prominent and bulky double storey height rear projections, would be a visually intrusive and overbearing form of development when viewed from Toby Way and from the surrounding rear garden environment contrary to Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan and the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD.
3.In the absence of a swept path analysis/tracking plans, the creation, siting and proximity of the car parking spaces for the development would result in inadequate access and egress arrangements that would be harmful to highway and pedestrian safety and require the removal of a street tree contrary to Policies 23 and 24 of the Havering Local Plan and Policy T4 of the London Plan.
