The London Borough Of Havering - Home page

No.Condition Text
1.The development by virtue of its use and scale including occupancy/levels of staffing is at odds with the suburban nature of its surroundings and results in undue harm to the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers including noise and disturbance contrary to Policies 6, 7, 16 and 34 of the Havering Local Plan, Policies H12, S1 and S2 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
2.The site is not well served by public transport. The off street parking arrangement for three vehicles appears to be inadequate. The applicant has not demonstrated that use does not lead to increased comings and goings to the site over and above that of a single dwelling house and that an adequate degree of visitor and carer parking facilities have been provided as well as those for future occupants who may own vehicles and staff. As a consequence, the use of the site results in increased parking congestion in surrounding streets, particularly given the very low accessibility of the site. The application has not demonstrated that the surrounding area is capable of accommodating increased demand for on-street parking without detriment to the amenity of surrounding occupants. Thus, the proposal is considered unacceptable and contrary to Policies 6, 16 & 24 of the Havering Local Plan, Policy T6 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
3.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 Smart Skills Ltd via email on 13th March 2025.
