20/01275/HSE

The proposed development of a ground floor front (fronting Adomar road) and rear extension (facing the rear garden) and a two storey front (facing Valence Circus) fails to respect the character, appearance and built form of the dwellinghouse, the existing local area and the street scene. In particular it would significantly alter a balanced and symmetrical street scene within a one of a kind housing formation within the Becontree Estate. As such it would be an uncharacteristic and unsympathetic addition to both the dwellinghouse and the local area and considered harmful to the character of the area, notably given the location of the application site within the Becontree Estate. As such the proposed development is considered contrary to: - National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG 2019); - Policies 7.1, 7.4, 7.6 and 7.8 of The London Plan (March 2016); - Policies HC1, D1 and D4 of the Draft London Plan Intended to Publish (December 2019); - Policies CP2 and CP3 of the Core Strategy DPD (July 2010); - Policies BP2 and BP11 of the Borough Wide DPD (March 2011); - Policies DM11, DM14, DM16 and SP4 of the Draft Local Plan ((Regulation 18 Consultation version, November 2019) - Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (February 2012).
