Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The change of use to a Sui Generis House in Multiple Occupation would result in the loss of a
family-sized dwelling within the borough, which is a form of housing that the Council is specifically
seeking to protect from conversion. The loss of this family-sized unit to a House in Multiple
Occupation would be contrary to the identified priority housing needs of the borough, and
prejudice the ability to stabilise the community and reduce population churn with implications for
convergence and feelings of community cohesion within the borough. Therefore, this development
is contrary to:
The National Planning Policy Framework (2019);
Policies H8, H10 and GG4 of the London Plan (2021); and
Policies S1, H1, H3 and H4 of the Local Plan (2018).
2
The change of use to a House in Multiple Occupation has the potential to result in an increase in
noise and disturbance, having an adverse effect upon the health and wellbeing of neighbouring
occupants. This is as a result of increased comings and goings, and a change to the pattern of
movements and activities inside and outside the premises, by virtue of the increased number of
households living at the site. Therefore, the development is considered contrary to:
The National Planning Policy Framework (2019);
Policies GG1, GG3, GG4, D8 and D14 of the London Plan (2021); and
Policies H1, H4, SP3 and SP8 of the Local Plan (2021).
The above policies can be viewed online via the respective government websites ie. the Council's
website www.newham.gov.uk , the GLA’s website www.london.gov.uk and the www.gov.uk website.
