Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development would fail to provide adequate internal and external space for
future occupants, in conflict with the indoor and outdoor space standards outlined in Policy D6,
including Criteria 1, 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.
2
Insufficient information has been supplied with the application to judge the noise impact. In the
absence of this information, it is therefore considered that the proposed development use
would, by reason of its location and relationship to nearby sensitive receptors, in particular the
amenity of future residents to the proposed appartment, result in an unsatisfactory relationship
by way of noise and disturbance from the ventilation equipment associated with the use and
potential odour from cooking smell which would be to the detriment of the amenity and living
conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers. The proposed development is therefore
contrary to Havering Local Plan Policy 34.
3
In the absence of a sufficient Waste Management Plan, it has not been demonstrated that
waste can be disposed of on a street that already has issues with fly tipping and waste

presentation. Therefore, the proposal cannot demonstrate that adequate provision for waste
collection can be provided against Policy 35 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2035.
