| 1. | The original floor area of the house to be converted is less than 120 sqm (in the region of 92sqm) and there is then conflict with Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 8(i) which renders the proposals unacceptable in principle. |
| 2. | The proposed development by reason of the resultant scale, bulk and mass of the host property and design concept of the extensions proposed cumulatively would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the host property and street-scene therefore contrary to Havering Local Plan Policies 7 and 26 and the design guidance within the Council's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD. There would be conflict also with the National Planning Policy Framework, specifically Paras 130/134 which fundamentally require good design and that development add to the overall quality of the area. |
| 3. | The development by reason of its housing typology, the nature of the use as a large HMO with high prospective occupancy and poor access to public transport, would result in significantly higher levels of coming / goings and intensive activity over and above that of a single dwelling house resulting in a detrimental impact to the amenity of adjoining residents from noise and disturbance associated with the use contrary to Policies 8 and 34 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031. For the reasons given it is not considered that this could be overcome through a restrictive condition. |
| 4. | The internal layout of the resultant dwelling would fail to meet with the requirements of the East London HMO guidance, having regard to maximum occupancy based on room sizes and requirements for shared space capable of being used by all occupants simultaneously. Furthermore outlook/aspect and light received to Unit 1 would be unacceptable. The proposals therefore conflict with Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 Policy 8 through failing to provide an adequate living environment for all future occupants. |
| 5. | The low PTAL rating is suggestive of poor access to public transport. Mindful of the high prospective occupancy based on the size of rooms/internal layout which is not comparable to a single dwelling house and in the absence of evidence to the contrary there would be potentially high reliance on vehicle ownership. It is not considered that it has been demonstrated as required by Policy 8 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 that the proposals would not have unacceptable impact on parking conditions and traffic congestion in the area. |
| 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 reason(s) for it was given to the agent in writing 30-03-2023 |
