Scheme description

Loft conversion with rear dormer, and front and rear rooflights

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposed rear dormer would, by reason of its design and excessive bulk appear out of scale and character with the existing dwelling and the surrounding garden scene. The rear dormer would represent a visually intrusive form of development from the perspective of both adjacent neighbours at No's 15 and 19 Compton Avenue harmful to their ongoing residential amenity contrary to Policies 7 & 26 of the Havering Local Plan and the Council's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2011).

Reason 2

The proposed part hip-to-gable conversion would unbalance the existing symmetry of the HAVPDECR (ODB Jan 2022) P1026.24 - 20th September 2024 1 of 4 semi-detached pair of dwellings harming both the character of the pair and the surrounding street scene. This would introduce an incongruous and contrived design to the roof of the dwelling inconsistent with the established form of development to roofs of neighbouring dwellings along Compton Avenue appearing as a visually intrusive feature in the street scene harmful to the appearance of the surrounding area contrary to Policies 7 and 26 of the Local Plan and the Council's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD.
