| 1. | The proposed development through the arrangement of built form and massing, relationship to shared boundaries and layout would present as visually cramped and would not respect the existing grain of the area. This would be exacerbated in particular by Plots 1, 4 and 5 the proposals would neither reflect existing local character and patterns of development, nor introduce positive new character. The proposals would therefore be contrary to Policies 7, 10 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 and also Paragraph 135 of the NPPF which amongst other considerations requires fundamentally that development add to the overall quality of the area whilst also establishing or maintaining a strong sense of place. |
| 2. | It has not been demonstrated that the noise from the adjoining venue/associated garden area (the New Inn Public House) would not have a significant adverse impact on new residents and that any impacts from noise might be adequately mitigated. In the absence of this surety the development would be contrary to the objectives of Paragraph 200 of the Framework which requires that new development can be integrated effectively with existing businesses and community facilities (such as places of worship, pubs, music venues and sports clubs) and Policy D13 (agent of change) of the London Plan. |
| 3. | In the case of Plot 5 it is considered that the living environment for the residents would have inadequate outlook and a sense of enclosure arising from the contrained plot and relationship to shared boundaries, boundary treatment and adjacent built development forming part of the proposals. These factors contribute to the development resulting in substandard residential accommodation to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers and therefore contrary to the objectives of Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 7 and London Plan Policy D6. There would also be conflict with Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework which seeks to ensure a high standard of amenity for existing and future occupiers. |
| 4. | Outlook from the first floor windows of Plots 2, 3 and 4 would have views over the the sites to the north fronting Durham Avenue which would be detrimental to amenity and enjoyment of these properties through significant levels of overlooking and loss of privacy. Similar confined relationships are not observed within the locality. The proposals are therefore contrary to Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policies 7, 26 and 34. There would also be conflict with Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework which seeks to ensure a high standard of amenity for existing and future occupiers. |
| 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, notification of intended refusal and the reason(s) for it was given to the agent in writing 20-01-2025 |
| 6. | The proposal, if granted planning permission on appeal, would be liable for the Mayor of London and Havering Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Based upon the information supplied with the application, the Mayoral CIL payable would be £575 based on the calculation of £25.00 per square metre and the Havering Community Infrastructure Levy (HCIL) would be a charge of £2875 based on calculation of £125 per square metre. Each would be subject to indexation.
Further details with regard to CIL are available from the Council's website. |
