Decision & conditions
2091999_Decision_Full_FULR.pdfPlanning conditions
- in accordance with plans: Design, Access and Planning Statement Y2850/2026 APRIL 2026; Planning Statement Y2850/2026 APRIL 2026; WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN April 2026; Flood Risk Assessment; Planning Fire Safety Statement; Y2067_2024_00 00 11/11/2024; Y2850_2026_04 00 07/04/2026 (Existing Ground & First Floor Plans); Y2850_2026_04 00 07/04/2026 (Existing Loft and Roof Plans); Y2850_2026_04 00 07/04/2026 (Existing Elevations); Y2850_2026_04 00 07/04/2026 (Proposed Plans); Y2850_2026_05 00 07/04/2026 (Proposed Plans); Y2850_2026_05 00 07/04/2026 (Proposed Elevations); Y2850_2026_05 00 07/04/2026 (Proposed Section A-A); Y2850_2026_05 00 07/04/2026 (Waste Management and Cycle Storage Plans)
- The proposal would provide a poor quality of accommodation for future residents in relation to usable floorspace due insufficient floor to ceiling height, as well as the lack of access to private amenity space, which would be detrimental to the amenities enjoyed by prospective occupants of this development. Thus, the proposal would be contrary to Policy LP26 and LP29 of the Local Plan and Policy D6 of the London Plan, and the Council's Housing Design Guide SPD (2019).
- The rear roof dormer because of its excessive size, design, scale and appearance with nominal set down from the ridge or set in from the side boundary and set away from the eaves, would be a bulky and intrusive addition which is harmful to the prevailing character of development and significantly damage the character and visual amenity of the host property. Thus the proposals are contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policies LP26 and LP30 of the Local Plan and Housing Design SPD.
- In the absence of a completed and accurate Unilateral Undertaking outlining appropriate mitigation, the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on the Epping Forest SAC, and as such it is contrary to Policy LP39 of the Council's Local 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.
