Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed crossover, by reason of its length over the existing grass
verge, would result in a significant loss of soft open green space fronting the site
and would result in a form of intrusive development of the subject site which
would adversely affect the character of the original dwellinghouse as well as the
character of the area and the visual amenity of the street scene. As such, the
proposed development would fail to adhere to the Council's Vehicle Crossovers:
Application Pack for Residents (2021), policies D3, D6, D8, T3 and T4 of the
London Plan (2021), 5.10, 7A, 7.4 and 7B of the Ealing Development
Management DPD (2013), policy 1.1 of the Ealing Local Development Framework
- Adopted (Core) Strategy (2012) and policy DAA of Ealing's Draft New Local Plan
(2022).
2
The proposed vehicular crossover as illustrated on drawing A0103
(Proposed Parking Provisions) by reason of exceeding the 2.4m standard width
specification for a single crossover would result in an incongruous feature within
the street scene, harming visual amenity and setting a harmful precedent for
future development. By way of its interruption of the footway for a width of
2.89m, it would also present a safety risk to pedestrians and set a precedent for
other such crossovers having a cumulative safety impact and loss of distinct
public and private space within the street scene, harming both safety and
amenity. As such, the proposal is contrary to the National Planning Policy
Framework (2025), policies G5, T3 and T4 of the London Plan (2021), policies
5.10 and 7A of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013), The Vehicle
Crossovers: Application Pack for Residents (2021).
