There is insufficient information to indicates that that proposed 7 vehicles on the proposed marked bays would be able to manoeuvre in a fashion that they could entre and egress the site in forward gear manner. There is no information whether the access road would be able to sustain the additional volume of traffic generated by the additional demand without compromising the amenities of the adjoining neighbours which may result in potential conflict between the vehicle users of the existing and future user of the access way contrary to Policies DC8, and DC36 of the Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Development Plan Document 2008 and the guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

In these regards the proposal is contrary to policies CP16 and DC58 of the London Borough of Havering Core Strategy 2008, policy 7.19 of the London Plan 2016 and the advice in National Planning Policy Framework 2019, which seek minimising impacts on and providing net gains for biodiversity.
