Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed demolition of a public house and change of use to mixed use
residential and retail (Use classes C3 and E) would be contrary to Policy HC7 of the
London Plan 2021, and the NPPF (section 93) which seeks to protect pub use and
appearance where this contributes to the character, culture or community life of the
area.
2
The proposed development does not demonstrate reasonable justification for
the loss of the existing building and the public house. Furthermore no evidence has
been submitted to demonstrate that there is not a reasonable prospect of re-use or
refurbishment of the existing public house. Therefore, the proposal would fail to
comply with the NPPF (2023), policy HC7 of the London Plan (2021), and policy 7.4 of
the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013).
3
The proposed development by reason of its inappropriate design, bulk and mass
would constitute in a bulky, incongruous and over dominant development harming the
character and appearance of the area. The development would therefore fail to comply
with the NPPF (2023), policy D4 of the London Plan (2021), and policy 7.4 of the
Ealing Development Management DPD (2013).
4
The proposed development by reason of insufficient GIA for the flat 1,
insufficient GIA for the K/L/D for flat 6 and insufficient width of the proposed
bedrooms for the flats 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 would provide inadequate amenity and living
conditions for future occupants. The development, therefore on balance, would result
in substandard living conditions to the detriment of future occupiers. Therefore, the
proposal is contrary to policies D3, D4 and D6 of the London Plan 2021, policies 7A
and 7B of the Ealing DPD 2013 and the Housing Design Standards 2023.
5
The proposed development by reason of its massing, siting & incongruous
design, would result in a harmful visual impact and sense of enclosure on the
residential amenities of No. 01 Shackleton Road contrary to Policies D4 and D6 of the
London Plan 2021, Policies 1.1 (e) (i) and 3.8 of the Ealing Core Strategy (2012), and
policies 7B of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013).
6
The proposed enlargement of the existing dropped kerbs, by virtue of the
proximity with the closest junction, would be detrimental in terms of highway safety.
As such, the proposal is contrary to policies T3 and T4 of the London Plan 2021.
