Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The original dwelling proposed to be subdivided does not measure more than 120sq.m and
would result in the loss of a family unit, without the provision of a three bedroom unit. It is
therefore considered that the proposal would be in conflict with Criteria ii. and iii. of Policy 9 of
the Havering Local Plan 2016-2035 and would therefore not be acceptable in principle.
2
The proposed development would fail to provide adequate internal floor space and high quality
external amenity space that is not significantly overlooked for future occupants, in conflict with
the indoor space standards outlined in Policy D6, including Criteria 1 and 2, of the London
Plan 2021 and Policy 7 the Havering Local Plan 2016-2033, which would result in substandard
residential accommodation detrimental to the amenity of the future residents.
3
The proposed room layout of the upper floor flat would conflict with the use of rooms on the
upper floor of the dwelling at no.12, resulting in potential noise and disturbance to the existing
occupiers to the detriment of their enjoyment of their dwelling contrary to Policies 7 and 9 of
the Local Plan.
HAVPDECR (ODB Jan 2022) P1282.24 - 23rd December 2024 1 of 3
4
The site has a PTAL rating of 1b which requires 0.5 parking spaces for a 1-bedroom dwelling.
Given the proposal involves the conversion of a 2-bedroom dwelling into two self-contained 1-
bedroom flats without providing any parking spaces, it is considered that the proposal cannot
demonstrate that adequate provision for parking can be provided against Policy T6 of the
London Plan 2021.
