Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
2
Policies SP1, SP3, H1 and H3 of the Newham Local Plan (December 2018)
Reason 2 – Urban Design and Place Making
The proposed development by virtue of its poor quality design, fails to be in keeping with the established pattern
of development in the locality. The proposed dimensions and use of materials used would fail to respect the
established patterns and forms found within the local vicinity. The rear of the property would also create an
awkward and oppressive feature which would be contrary to the character and appearance of the existing
building at no. 7 Vicars Close and the wider terrace. The proposal is therefore contrary to:
3
Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
4
Policies S1, SP1, and SP3 of the Newham Local Plan (December 2018)
Reason 3 – Neighbouring Amenity
The proposal would cause significant harm to the residential amenities of no. 7 Vicars Close in terms of access
to privacy and outlook by virtue of its main window aspects and rear private amenity space directly abutting and
overlooking the rear garden of the existing property. The proposal is therefore contrary to:
5
Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
6
Policies SP1, SP3, and SP8 of the Newham Local Plan (December 2018)
Reason 4 – Waste Management
The proposal fails to provide adequate waste management for future occupants on site and also the proposed
siting of waste bins would impact access and escape at the proposed unit. The proposal is therefore contrary to:
7
Policies D3 and T2 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
8
Policies SP1, SP3, and INF3 of the Newham Local Plan (December 2018)
Reason 5 – Cycle Storage
The proposal fails to clearly and adequately provide sufficiently cycle storage on site at the proposed unit, siting
potential storage either in limited internal living space or within limited private amenity space. The proposal is
therefore contrary to:
9
Policies D3 and T5 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021)
