Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposal by reason of its design, appearance and scale, would
represent an incongruous and discordant form of development to the detriment of
the character and appearance of the host building and the visual amenity of the
streetscene. The proposal would fail to comply Policies D3 and D4 of the London
Plan (2021), Policies 7.4 and 7B of the Ealing Development Management DPD
(2013) and Policy DAA of Ealing's draft new Local Plan (Regulation 22).
2
The introduction of an excessive 4-storey rear extension alongside the
shared boundary with No. 178 would result in significant loss of outlook and
increased sense of overbearing to the rear facing windows of the third floor flat at
No. 178, unduly harm the amenity of the neighbouring properties. The proposal
would be contrary to policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), policy 7B of
the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013).
3
By reason of the lack of privacy of the rear communal garden, the
impractical side balconies for the first and second floor unit, and the potential
disturbance resulting from the shared side access, the proposal would fail to
provide a good quality of accommodation to the future occupants and would be
contrary to policy D6 of the London Plan (2021), policy 3.5 and 7D of the Ealing
Development Management DPD (2013).

The proposed cycle parking, by reason of its size would fail to comply with
the Ealing's Cycle Parking Standards for small residential developments, and
Policy T4 and T5 of the London Plan (2021).
