632629632628Decision Full FULR_849_v1.pdfPlanning conditions
- in accordance with plans ZAAVIA/75FA/101 (Issue A), ZAAVIA/75FA/102 (Issue A), ZAAVIA/75FA/103 (Issue A), ZAAVIA/75FA/104 (Issue A), ZAAVIA/75FA/105 (Issue A), ZAAVIA/75FA/106 (Issue A), ZAAVIA/75FA/107 (Issue A), ZAAVIA/75FA/108 (Issue A), Location Plan, HMO Management Plan, Waste Management Plan, Planning Statement, and Fire Safety Strategy
- The proposed development involves the loss of a family sized unit in a location which the Council considers positively contributes to the Borough's housing need, and does not take the opportunity to mitigate for the loss of this family home. As such, this proposal fails to comply with Policies LP5 and LP26 of the Local Plan and the Housing Needs identified in the 2024 Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA).
- The proposed HMO, due to the insufficient number and area of communal living spaces, would result in substandard residential accommodation, to the detriment of the amenities of prospective occupants of the development. Thus, the proposal is contrary the Council's Housing Design Supplementary Planning Document, Policies LP26 and LP29 of the Local Plan, and Policy D6 of the London Plan.
- The proposed development, due to the (small front) bedroom on the first floor not meeting the required space standard as a single room, would result in substandard residential accommodation, to the detriment of the amenities of prospective occupants of the development. Thus, the proposal is contrary the Council's Housing Design Supplementary Planning Document, Policies LP26 and LP29 of the Local Plan, and Policy D6 of the London Plan.
- The front bedroom on the loft floor, by virtue of its poor outlook, would result in substandard residential accommodation, to the detriment of the amenities of prospective occupants of the development. Thus, the proposal is contrary the Council's Housing Design Supplementary Planning Document, Policies LP26 and LP29 of the Local Plan, and Policy D6 of the London Plan.
- Redbridge Planning Service adopts a positive and proactive approach when engaging with applicants/agents in line with the National Planning Policy Framework. We encourage engagement with the pre-application service to avoid delays in the planning process. https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/planning-and-building/planning/ The proposal does not comply with policy and no pre-application discussions were entered into. The applicant is encouraged to seek pre-application advice prior to the submission of any future planning application.
