Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed extension and alteration to the existing commercial shopfront would be contrary to
the Council's objectives of consolidating expansion of commercial uses to within the identified
Town and Local Centres. This would result in a detraction of investment from these identified
Centre areas, limiting the financial vitality and viability of these areas. Therefore, this proposal is
contrary to:
• The National Planning Policy Framework (2024);
• Policies SD6 and E9 of the London Plan (2021); and
• Policies S1, S2, SP6, SP7, J1 and INF5 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan.
2
The proposed extension, by virtue of its positioning and alteration to the existing design, would
result in a form of development which fails to assimilate with the existing building line on Altmore
Avenue. The extension would result in an anomalous design that would fail to present cohesion
between the neighbouring residential use and the application site’s commercial use, including the
removal of the existing chamfered elevation, which is more prominent due to the end-of-terrace
location. The proposed design would appear piecemeal in nature, and would fail to assimilate with
the established local character. Therefore, this proposal is contrary to:
• The National Planning Policy Framework;
• Policies D1 and D4 of The London Plan (2021); and
• Policies S2, SP1, SP3 and SP8 of The London Borough of Newham Local Plan (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.
