Scheme description

Change of use to 3 bedroom 3 person HMO (Use Class C4) and erection of single storey wrap around extension with associated waste storage provision.

Why it was refused
Reason 1

Reason 1 The poorly configured accommodation, by reason of the siting of Bedroom 01, does not provide for an adequate or healthy living environment for future occupants of the property. In addition, the future occupants of bedroom No. 1 would be exposed to noise and disturbance. The proposal is therefore contrary to: • The National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, December 2024); • Policy D3 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021) and; • Policies SP2, SP3, H1 and H3 of the Newham Local Plan (LBN, December 2018)

Reason 2

Reason 2 The loss of the garden for the occupiers of No. 13A Spencer Road would give rise to a reduction in quality of accommodation to the detriment of these neighbouring occupiers. The proposed development is therefore contrary to: • The National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, December 2024); • Policies SP2, SP8 and H4 of the Newham Local Plan (LBN, December 2018) The above policies can be viewed online via the respective government websites ie. the Council's website www.newham.gov.uk , the GLA’s website www.london.gov.uk and the www.gov.uk website.
