Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The bulk, scale and mass of the proposed development in close proximity to the boundaries,
on a prominent corner location, would appear as an unneighbourly cramped overdevelopment
HAVPDECR (ODB Jan 2022) P0832.24 - 12th August 2024 1 of 3
of the site, incongruous with the local pattern of development and out of character with the
surrounding built form, therefore harmful to local character and detrimental to neighbouring
residential amenity, contrary to Policies 7, 10 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan 2021 and
Policies D4 and D6 of the London Plan 2021.
2
The constraints of the site in conjunction with the design approach adopted would be to the
detriment of the amenity of future occupiers. The proposal would lead to poor quality outlook
from habitable rooms, low celling heights and close proximity to an electrical sub-station to the
detriment of the future occupiers, contrary to the aims of Policies 7, 10 and 26 of the Havering
Local Plan 2021 and Policies D4 and D6 of the London Plan 2021.
