Decision & conditions
2091150_Decision_Full_FULR.pdfPlanning conditions
- 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 home. As such, this proposal fails to comply with Policies LP5 and LP26 of the Local Plan and the Housing needs identified in the 2023 Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA).
- 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.
- The proposed cycle parking storage area is not easily accessible to the highway, with no direct route between the two, contrary to Local Plan Policies LP6 and LP23, London Plan Policy T5 and the London Cycling Design Standards (2016).
- Insufficient information has been provided as to the existing and proposed usage of the outbuilding shown within the redline, such as floorplans, to make a full assessment of the application's interactions and impacts. The Council thereofre is unable to fully assess the application and without which the proposals cannot be considered to satisfy the requirements of Policies D3 of the London Plan, and Policy LP26 of the Council's Local Plan.
- The following plans / documents were taken into consideration: 260504 L001 - Location Plan as Existing; 260504 L002 - Site Plan as Proposed; 260504 L003 - [Floor] Plans as Existing; 260504 L004 - [Floor] Plans as Proposed; 260504 L005 - Elevations as Existing & Proposed; Planning Statement; Site Waste Management; Biodiversity Net Gain Exemption Statement; Planning Fire Safety Strategy; HMO Management Plan
- Insufficient information has been provided to confirm the loft bedroom would provide the required standard of residential accommodation, with particular reference to ceiling height and usable floorspace in the loft space, to the potential detriment of the amenities of prospective occupants of the development. Thus, the proposal is contrary the Council's Housing Design Supplementary Planning Document (2019), Policies LP26 and LP29 of the Local Plan (2015), and Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021).
