PL/0414/24

- The proposed development, by reason of its awkward layout; poor outlook and lack of access to natural daylight/sunlight to the kitchen and dining area of the ground floor flat would result in a substandard quality of living accommodation for the potential future occupiers, to the detriment of their residential amenity, contrary to the high quality design aspirations of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policy D6 of The London Plan (2021), policies DM1 and DM 26 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013), the Technical Housing Standards Nationally Described Space Standards (2015), the Mayor of London Supplementary Planning Guidance (2016) and the adopted Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (2010).

- The proposal, by reason of an unsatisfactory Flood Risk Assessment, fails to provide adequate flood data to demonstrate that the proposed development would result in a net reduction in flood risk, be resistant and resilient to flooding, would not exacerbate the risk of flooding within the site or increase the risk and consequences of flooding elsewhere or provide a dry means of escape for the users of the site, to the potential detriment of the safety of future occupiers of the development and elsewhere in terms of flood risk. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), policy SI 12 of The London Plan (2021), Core Policy CS1 U of Harrow Core Strategy (2012) policies DM 9 and DM10 of the Harrow Development Management Polices Local Plan (2013).
