Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development would introduce additional street furniture into this
already restricted and heavily furnished area, exacerbating visual clutter and
further diminishing the quality and functionality of the public realm. As such, the
proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy 53 of the Local Plan.
2
The proposed development, by virtue of its scale and siting on the public
footpath, would reduce the available footpath in an area of high footfall which
would be harmful to users of the public highway, particularly in the sense of
pedestrian movements, and is therefore contrary to the objectives of Policy 60 of
the adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan LP1 (2024), which seeks to protect the
walking and cycling environment.
