| 1. | The proposal to convert the existing dwellinghouse with an original floorspace of less than 120sqm into two self-contained flats would be unacceptable in principle as it would result in the loss of a family sized dwelling and fail to re-provide a family sized home of where there is a recognised shortage of family accommodation in the Borough. As such, the proposal would result in the loss of a family sized home and would undermine the objective of ensuring mixed and balanced communities to meet current and future housing needs contrary to Local Plan Policies 5 and 9 (ii) and (iii). |
| 2. | The gross internal area and sizes of its double bedroom as well as storage space for the 2B3P flat would fall below the minimum requirements set out in Policy D6 of the London Plan. Furthermore, the 2B3P flat would fail to provide access to external rear amenity space for its occupiers, both flats would also be single aspect and, in the absence of section drawings, it has not been demonstrated the proposal would comply with the minimum floor-to-ceiling heights standards set out in Policy D6. Consequently, the proposed development would fail to provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for 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 Policy 7 and Policy D6 of the London Plan. |
| 3. | The proposal would result in the first floor living area of the 2B3P flat abutting the bedroom of the adjoining property no. 49 Jersey Road, something which would be detrimental on the residential amenity of these neighbouring occupiers, contrary to paragraph 135(f) of the NPPF which requires developments to have a high standard of amenity for existing users, Local Plan Policies 7 and 9 and Policy D13 of the London Plan. |
| 4. | The proposed rear dormer window, by reason of its bulk, scale and massing, would appear as a dominant and visually intrusive feature within the rear garden scene that would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the host property and visual amenity of the rear garden environment, contrary to paragraph 135(d) of the NPPF which requires developments to maintain a strong sense of place, Local Plan Policies 7 and 26, Policy D4 of the London Plan and the Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document. |
| 5. | 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 £2,900 (x £25 per sqm).
Havering CIL (HCIL) contribution of £14,500 (x £125 per sqm)
Each contribution would be subject to indexation. |
| 6. | 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 04/03/2026. |
| 7. | The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by assessing the proposal against all material planning considerations, including planning policies and any representations which were received. It subsequently determined to grant planning permission in accordance with the National Planning Policy requirement that applications for sustainable development are approved where possible. A detailed analysis of the scheme is set out in the report on the application prepared by officers. |
| 8. | Were this application to be the subject of an appeal, with reference to the drawing '08B', the Inspector should note that the decision issued relates solely to the developments proposed to no. 51 Jersey Road. However, separate planning consent was granted for an end-terraced dwellinghouse as part of P0228.25 and that scheme is capable of being implemented. |
