Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The application has failed to provide sufficient and accurate information to enable a fully
informed assessment of the proposal. Notably, the plans are inaccurate representation of the
existing surroundings noting neighbouring plots are not drawn correctly or uptodate in respect
of the extent of buildings and openspaces. Furthermore, there is insufficient information
provided in respect of the relationship of the site to the land adjacent to the south which also
appears to rely upon the shared access route. The deficiencies within the application may
prejudice other potentially interested parties who may consider they would be affected by the
proposed development. Additionally, the deficiencies inhibit the ability of the Local Planning
Authority to make a full and proper assessment of the proposals against the National Planning
Policy Framework (MHCLG, July 2021), The London Plan (GLA, March 2021), and The
London Borough of Newham Local Plan (LBN, December 2018).
2
Notwithstanding reason for refusal 1, the proposal is considered to constitute a piecemeal
form of development which fails to comprehensively develop the site or maximise its
residential potential also accounting for the adjacent plot to the south with shared access. The
proposal is considered to prejudice the development potential of this wider back land area
which has scope for higher quantum of residential development of a high standard of design
quality. The proposal is therefore contrary to:
Policy GG2, D1, D3, H1 and H2 of The London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
Policies S1, S6, SP1 and SP3 of The London Borough of Newham Local Plan (LBN,
December 2018).
3
Notwithstanding reason for refusal 1, the proposed building lacks in architectural integrity
neither successfully integrating or effectively contrasting with the surrounding built forms and
as such is not considered to sufficiently maintain the character and appearance of the wider
locality. The proposal is therefore contrary to:
National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, July 2021)
Policy D1 and D3 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
Policies S1, S6, SP1, SP3, SP8 and H1 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan
(LBN, December, 2018).
4
Notwithstanding reason for refusal 1, the existing entrance and approach is of poor quality and
the proposals do not detail any improvement measures which would result in implications on
the safety for residents in using such access shared with a non-residential site operator, and
overall poor quality, unsecure, and unwelcoming entrance and approach. The proposal fails to
address the site holistically in this regard, representing piecemeal design. The proposal is
therefore considered contrary to:
Policies D1, D3, D4, D8, D11 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
Policies S6, SP1, SP2, SP3, SP8, H1 and INF2 of The London Borough of Newham Local
Plan (LBN, December 2018)
Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (GLA, March 2016, Updated August 2017).
5
The site is located within Flood Zone 3 and the application has failed to provide a flood risk
assessment and as such has failed to demonstrate how the proposed development and the
22/02360/FUL Page 2 of 5
site users will be kept safe for the lifetime of the development. The proposed development is
therefore contrary to:
Policies GG6, D11, SI 12 and SI 13 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
Policies SP3, SC1, SC3, SP8 and SP9 of the Newham Local Plan (LBN, December 2018).
