Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed rear garden would not provide sufficient and a high quality useable amenity
space for future occupiers of the parent assessment unit contrary to Policies 6 and 7 of the
Havering Local Plan, Policy H12 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy
HAVPDECR (ODB Jan 2022) P1428.24 - 24th January 2025 1 of 3
Framework.
2
Non-compliance with Secured by Design principles, in the absence of any evidence otherwise,
would present a risk to future occupiers of the parent assessment unit. The proposals are
therefore in conflict with Policy 6 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 which amongst other
considerations requires that specialist accommodation is suitable for the intended occupants.
Furthermore there would be conflict with the objectives of Policies D11 and H12 of the London
Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework, which specifically at Paragraph 135
requires that developments create places that are safe, with a high standard of amenity for
existing and future users and where crime and disorder, and the fear of crime, do not
undermine the quality of life or community cohesion and resilience.
