Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The unauthorised development of a high fence and hardsurfacing of the entire
site creates a low quality and barren appearance, at stark odds with the surrounding
development. It causes detrimental harm the character and appearance of the corner
site which marks the entrance to Wharncliff Housing Estate in conflict with policies D1,
D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and policy 7.4 of the Ealing Development
Management DPD (2013).
2
The retrospective proposal fails to include adequate information or detailing
about transport impacts or surface water flooding and drainage. There are likely to be
significant impacts that will arise from the hardsurfacing of the entire site and the
intensified car sales business in this location on busy traffic junction. This is in conflict
with policies, 5.12 of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013) and T4, T5, T6
of the London Plan (2021).
