No.Condition Text
1.The proposed dwelling due to its design, scale, bulk and siting would form an incongruous and visually cramped form of development at odds with prevailing pattern of development in this locality. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies 7,10 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 and also the guidance within 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 area of Bedrooms 02 & 03 at 10.771m2 and 9.997m2 respectively would fail to provide the relevant floor area of at least 11.5 m2 for a double bedroom as indicated on drawing no. PL04 resulting in substandard accommodation to the detriment of the amenity of the future occupiers contrary to Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan and Policy D6 of the London Plan.
3.The proposed development would, by reason of its position and proximity to neighbouring properties cause overlooking and loss of privacy which would have a serious and adverse effect on the living conditions of adjacent occupiers, contrary to Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan.
4.In the absence of a parking stress survey, the inadequate depth for the front parking space for the donor property and lack of information regarding a new crossover would create inadequate on-site car parking provision for the donor property and would likely result in unacceptable overspill onto surrounding roads, causing harm to highway safety and residential amenity, and contrary to Policies to Havering Local Plan Policies 23 and 24, London Plan Policies T4, T6, T6.1 and the NPPF (2021).
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 Mr Durrani by e-mail on 08-10-25.
6.For Residential Development Only Please be advised that approval of this application from 1st September 2019 (either by London Borough of Havering, or subsequently by PINS if allowed on appeal following a refusal by London Borough of Havering) will attract a liability payment of £13,350 plus indexation in Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). This charge has been levied under s.206 of the Planning Act 2008 and includes both the Mayor of London's CIL and Havering Council's CIL. London Borough of Havering, as CIL collecting authority, has responsibility for the collection of the Mayoral CIL, in addition to Havering's CIL, on commencement of the development. Your proposal is subject to a CIL Liability Notice indicating a levy of £13,350 plus indexation for the application, based on the Mayoral CIL levy rate for Havering of £25/sq.m plus Havering's charging rate for residential of £125/sq.m (Zone A), and the floorspace of 89 square metres.
