Retrospective application for the change of use of the dwellinghouse (C3) into a 5 bedroom HMO (C4)
The proposal will result in the loss of a 4+ bedroom family sized dwelling, a type of housing in extremely high demand within the Borough. Therefore the negatives arising from the proposal are considered to outweigh any significant benefits as such having regard to the presumption in favour of sustainable development on balance the principle of development is considered unacceptable and contrary to:- - National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (DLUHC, 2021); - Policies GG4, H1, H2 and H9 of the London Plan (March 2021); - Policies CM1, CM2 and CC1 of the Core Strategy DPD (July 2010); - Policy BC4 of the Borough Wide DPD (March 2011); - Policies SPDG1, SP3 and DMH4 of The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’s Draft Local Plan: (Regulation 19 Submission Version, December 2021); - Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (GLA, March 2016, Updated August 2017); - London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Housing Delivery Test Action Plan 2020
The proposed HMO has potential to increase activity levels and coming and goings to and from the site leading to additional levels of noise and disturbance at the property. This is considered to have a negative impact on neighbouring amenity and in turn the health and wellbeing of neighbouring residents. As such the proposal is contrary to: - National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (DLUHC, 2021); - Policies BP8 and BP11 of the Borough Wide DPD (March 2011); - Policies DMD 1, SP 7 and DMSI 3 of The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’s Draft Local Plan: (Regulation 19 Submission Version, December 2021)
The proposed development fails to provide an adequate standard of residential accommodation, namely through the failure to provide any built-in storage space and the under-provision of external amenity space. As such, the prosed development is contrary to: - National Planning Policy Framework (DLUHC , 2021); - Policy D4 and D6 of the London Plan (March 2021); - Policy CP3 of the LDF Core Strategy (July 2010); - Policies BP5, BP6, BP8 and BP11 of the LDF Borough Wide Development Plan Policies DPD (March 2011); - Policies SP2, SP3, DMD1 and SP2 of the Draft Local Plan (Regulation 19 Submission Version, December 2021); The above policies can be viewed on the Council's website: www.lbbd.gov.uk/planning.
