No.Condition Text
1.The proposed development, through the limited storage space of the 2B4P flat, the limited gross internal area, storage space and floor-to-ceiling heights of the 3B5P flat as well as the size of this flat's third bedroom, would fail to meet the minimum requirements set out in Policy D6 of the London Plan. Furthermore, the 3B5P flat would fail to provide a convenient means of access to the external rear amenity space for its occupiers. Consequently, the proposed development would fail to provide an acceptable standard of residential accommodation to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers, contrary to paragraph 135(f) of the NPPF which requires developments to have a high standard of amenity for future users, Local Plan Policies 7, 9(iii) and Policy D6 of the London Plan.
2.The proposed rear extension, by reason of the depth and proximity of the first floor to the common boundary with no. 212B Victoria Road, would be an intrusive and unneighbourly development which would have an overbearing impact, a significant loss of outlook and an increased sense of enclosure on this neighbour's bedroom window, contrary to paragraph 135(f) of the NPPF which requires developments to have a high standard of amenity for existing users and Local Plan Policy 7.
3.In the event that this application is allowed through the appeals process, the proposals would be liable for the following CIL contributions: Mayoral CIL (MCIL2) contribution of £3,550 (x £25 per sqm). Havering CIL (HCIL) contribution of £17,750 (x £125 per sqm) Each contribution would be subject to indexation.
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, notification of intended refusal and the reasons for it was given to the agent by email on the 27/03/2026.
