Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Character
The proposed new dwellinghouse by reason of its siting, scale, bulk, incongruous flat roof
formation, building lines projecting in front and the rear of the adjacent terrace, and poor
design which lacks architectural detailing and visual interest shape, fails to respect the scale,
form and character of the subject and surrounding dwellings. The proposal therefore
represents a development that would negatively impact the character and appearance of the
area including the street scene. The proposal is therefore contrary to:
The National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, July 2021)
Policies D1, D3, D4 and D8 of The London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
Policies S1, SP1, SP3 and SP8 of the Newham Local Plan (December 2018)
Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (GLA, March 2016, Updated August 2017.
2
Neighbouring Amenity
The proposal has failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would not result in
unacceptable impacts to the neighbouring property no. 9 David Street in terms of loss of
daylight and sunlight. Furthermore, the increase in bulk and massing is considered to result in
a loss of outlook and a resulting sense of overbearing and enclosure. The cumulative impacts
arising from the proposal are considered to result in undue harm to the amenities of this
neighbouring property. The proposal therefore constitutes an unneighbourly form of
development contrary to:
The National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, July 2021))
Policies GG4, D1, D3, D4 and D6 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
Policies SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP8 of the Newham Local Plan (December 2018)
Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (GLA, March 2016, Updated August
2017).
3
Quality of Accommodation
The proposal would give rise to a poor standard of accommodation to the detriment of the
living conditions of future occupiers by reason of its insufficient internal floor space and built in
storage space. The proposed dwelling size and its configuration would result in cramped and
cluttered internal living conditions to the detriment of the health and wellbeing of the future
occupants. The proposed development is therefore contrary to:
The National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, July 2021)
Policies GG4, D3 and D6 of The London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
Policies S1, S6, SP1, SP2, SP3, SP8 and H1 of the Newham Local Plan (December
2018)
Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (GLA, March 2016, Updated August
2017).
4
Biodiversity
The application has provided insufficient information to justify the removal of the mature tree to
the west of the application site and its loss would be harmful to the character and amenity of
the locality. Furthermore, Officers are not convinced based on the apparent inaccuracies of the
submitted documents that the remaining existing mature trees would not be unacceptably
harmed by the development. The deficiencies in information inhibit the ability Local Planning
Authority to make a full and proper assessment of the proposals against the National Planning
Policy Framework (MHCLG, July 2021); Policies D3, D8, G5 and G7 of the London Plan (GLA,
22/02146/FUL Page 2 of 5
March 2021), Policies SP1, SP3, and SC4 of the Newham Local Plan (December 2018) in
respect of seeking to maintain and enhance biodiversity value and character of the area.
Furthermore, Officers are not convinced that such potential harmful impacts could have
reasonably been mitigated through conditions or planning obligations.
