Removal of conditions No. 8, 9 & 10 of planning permission ref: P1991.22 dated 18/04/2023 (Use of property for use as a large HMO for up to 8 residents (sui generis) or as a parent assessment unit for up to 5 residents (class C2), allowing flexible use between the two uses for a period of 10 years,
The proposed rear garden would not provide sufficient and a high quality useable amenity space for future occupiers of the parent assessment unit contrary to Policies 6 and 7 of the Havering Local Plan, Policy H12 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy HAVPDECR (ODB Jan 2022) P1428.24 - 24th January 2025 1 of 3 Framework.
Non-compliance with Secured by Design principles, in the absence of any evidence otherwise, would present a risk to future occupiers of the parent assessment unit. The proposals are therefore in conflict with Policy 6 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031 which amongst other considerations requires that specialist accommodation is suitable for the intended occupants. Furthermore there would be conflict with the objectives of Policies D11 and H12 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework, which specifically at Paragraph 135 requires that developments create places that are safe, with a high standard of amenity for existing and future users and where crime and disorder, and the fear of crime, do not undermine the quality of life or community cohesion and resilience.
