Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed residential units would give rise to a poor standard of accommodation to the
detriment of the living conditions of future occupiers, in particular, by reason of all proposed units
all being undersized with a lack of built-in storage and the failure to provide outdoor amenity
space. The proposed development is therefore contrary to:
Policies GG4, D3 and D6 of The London Plan (GLA, March 2021);
Policies S1, SP1, SP2, SP3, SP8, and H1 of the London Borough of Newham Local
Plan (adopted December 2018); and
Housing Design Standards (GLA, June 2023)
2
The proposed development, by reason of its unsympathetic external design, fails to consider the
site holistically and respect the character of the adjoining buildings, in particular, by reason of its
bulk, massing, and boxy design, representing a discordant feature in the local area and over-
intensification of the site. The proposal is therefore contrary to:
Policies D1, D3, D4 and D8 of The London Plan (GLA, March 2021); and
Policies S1, S6, SP1, SP3 and SP8 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan
(adopted December 2018).
3
The development by reason of its bulk and close proximity would have a significant increase of the
sense of enclosure towards the rear of No.3 Western Road. The proposal signifies unneighbourly
development, harming the residential amenities of surround properties, contrary to:
Policies GG4, D3 and D6 of The London Plan (GLA, March 2021); and
Policies S1, SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP8 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan
(adopted December 2018).
4
The proposed development has failed to provide practical, secure and weatherproof cycle storage
facilities and as such fails to promote or encourage and appropriately facilitate use of sustainable
modes of transport to the detriment of future residents including their health and wellbeing. The
proposal is therefore contrary to:
Policies GG3, D3, D4, D14 and T5 of The London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
Policies S1, SP2, SP8 and INF2 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan
(December 2018); and
Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (GLA, March 2016, Updated August 2017)
23/00707/FUL
5
This proposal has failed to demonstrate that the application site would be able to appropriately be
able to gather, store and put out waste and recycling for all units without restricting use or having
detrimental impact upon the amenity and safe use of the surrounding pavements or roads.
Therefore, this proposal is contrary to:
National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (DLUHC, December 2023);
Policies D3, D4, D6 and S17 of The London Plan (GLA, March 2021); and
Policies INF3, SP2 and SP8 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (December
2018).
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.
