Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The level of prospective occupancy and scale and nature of the use proposed would materially
change the character of the subject property and the surrounding environment. This would
present in increased comings and goings to the site which would be over and above what
could be regarded as acceptable and which would be detrimental to local character and the
amenity of adjoining and nearby occupiers contrary to Policies 6, 7 and 34 of the Havering
Local Plan, Policies H12, S1 and S2 of the London Plan and the objectives of the National
Planning Policy Framework 2023.
2
The applicant has not demonstrated that proposed use would not lead to increased comings
and goings to the site over and above that of a single dwelling house and that an adequate
HAVPDECR (ODB Jan 2022) P0771.24 - 9th August 2024 1 of 3
degree of visitor and carer parking facilities would be provided. Therefore as a consequence
this would result in an adverse impact on the safety and convenience of the local highway
network through exacerbating pedestrian-vehicular conflict along pavements and traffic
congestion within the area. As such there would be conflict with Policy 6 of the Havering Local
Plan 2016-2031, Policy T6 of the London Plan as well as the objectives of the NPPF 2023.
