Scheme description

Redevelopment of the existing garage for the provision of one new home.

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposal, by reason of its contrived design, in particular the uncharacteristic narrowness of the proposed dwelling and the extent of site coverage, would give rise to a cramped and visually intrusive form of development, which is materially out of keeping with the prevailing HAVPDECR (ODB Jan 2022) P0562.24 - 23rd July 2024 1 of 4 pattern of development in Woburn Avenue, giving rise to material harm to the character and visual amenity of the locality, contrary to the provisions of Policies 7 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan, as well as the provisions of the NPPF.

Reason 2

The proposal, by reason of lack of outlook from the bedroom owing to the obscure glazed oriel window, as well as the cramped garden depth and limited outlook from the main ground floor habitable room windows, give rise to an oppressive and poor quality living environment for future occupiers of the proposed development, contrary to the provisions of Policies 7 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan, as well as the provisions of the NPPF.

Reason 3

The proposal, by reason of the height, bulk and mass of the proposed development, as well as its proximity to the northern boundary of the site give rise to an unneighbourly, intrusive and overbearing form of development, giving rise to material harm to the amenity of adjoining occupiers, in particular 2D Woburn Avenue and 218 Elm Park Avenue, contrary to the provisions of Policies 7 and 26 of the Havering Local Plan, as well as the provisions of the NPPF.
