The proposed development would create a poor and sub-standard form of residential accommodation in terms of the location of bedroom windows with no defensible space, internal space standards and external amenity space provided, at the detriment of the long term health and well-being for future site occupiers . Therefore, the proposed development fails to comply with the requirements of Policies D6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy 56 and Policy 57 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (2024).
The proposal fails to adequately address pedestrian safety and highway safety in this location whereby there are existing concerns regarding the functioning of the road and potential impacts on pedestrian safety.
