Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
for the following reason(s):
Reason
The amount of development proposed is considered excessive and incompatible with local context,
notwithstanding the site’s sustainable location. The development would fail to integrate successfully with
its surroundings and would result in unacceptable harm to local character and appearance. The proposal
is therefore contrary to Policies SP1, SP3 and H1 of the Newham Local Plan (2018), and London Plan
Policies D3, D4 and D6, which collectively require development to respond positively to context, provide
high-quality accommodation, and ensure appropriate scale, massing, and housing mix.
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.
