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, would be considered to be an overdevelopment of plot. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies 7 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 development would, by reason of its contrived and awkwardly shaped rear garden arrangement and the proximity of the main habitable room ground floor rear window to the boundary enclosures, give rise to a poor quality living environment for future occupiers of the proposed development, to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers, contrary to Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan.
3.The proposed loss of the existing front parking space for the donor property 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).
4.In the absence of the required ecological and BNG information, the proposals would be considered to have failed to deliver a mandatory 10% measurable biodiversity net gain, contrary to the Biodiversity Gain (Town and Country Planning) (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2024, Policy 30 of the Local Plan 2021 and Havering Nature Conservation and Biodiversity Strategy (2014).
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, 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. In addition, given that the issues raised at the pre-app stage have not been fully addressed.
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 £8, 625 plus indexation in Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

Your proposal is subject to a CIL Liability Notice indicating a levy of £1,725 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 69 square metres.
