PL/1440/24

- The proposal, by reason of the refuse and waste recycling bins and bicycle stores, in the front garden area, would result in a cluttered and poor quality environment and would fail to provide adequate secure cycle parking, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the subject property and the street scene and the objectives of promoting sustainable transport, contrary to the high quality design aspirations of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Core Policy CS.1B of the Harrow Core Strategy, Policies D3.D1, D3.D11 and T5 of The London Plan (2021), Policies DM1, DM26, DM23, DM42 and DM45 of the Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013) and the adopted Supplementary Planning Document: Residential Design Guide (2010).

- The applicant has failed to submit a Flood Risk Assessment and has therefore failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would not exacerbate the risk of flooding within the site or increase the risk and consequences of flooding elsewhere, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), policies SI12 and SI13 of The London Plan (2021), Core Policy CS1 U of Harrow Core Strategy (2012) and policies DM9 and DM10 of the Harrow Development Management Polices Local Plan (2013).

- The plans submitted omit the existing canopy/pergola from the existing and proposed plans, showing an inaccurate layout of the site and fails to accurately show the relationship between the proposed rear access path for the upper floor flat and the existing rear canopy. The applicant has also failed to provide section drawings, not allowing the officers to accurately determine whether the minimum internal ceiling standards have been met. Furthermore, the location plan submitted shows the wrong property within the site boundary. As such, the local planning authority is therefore unable to make a comprehensive and objective assessment of the proposed development in relation to the impact to future residents amenities, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies D6 and D3.D7 of The London Plan (2021), Policies DM1, DM26 and DM27 of the Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013), The Mayor of London Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (2016), the adopted Supplementary Planning Document: Residential Design Guide (2010) and Housing Design Standards LPG (2023).

- The proposal, by reason of failing to provide acceptable, private rear amenity space which would not be overlooked by the other flat, would result in a poor standard of living accommodation for future occupiers of this flat, to the detriment of their residential amenities, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies D6 and D3.D7 of The London Plan (2021), Policies DM1 and DM26 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013), The Mayor of London Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (2016), the adopted Supplementary Planning Document: Residential Design Guide (2010) and Housing Design Standards LPG (2023).

- The proposed parking layout within the front amenity space would provide an over provision of parking on the site, furthermore, the layout, by virtue of the existing front boundary wall would provide an unrealistic parking layout as access to both parking spaces would not be freely available or useable with one car being blocked in by the other. The proposed scheme would therefore be unfeasible and would provide an inappropriate on-site parking provision and those which could create significant on-street parking problems contrary to the high quality design aspirations of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021), Policy DM42 of the Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013) and the adopted Supplementary Planning Document: Residential Design Guide (2010).
