Authority: London Borough of Newham
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Ellis D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether prior approval should be granted for the external appearance of the dwellinghouse and for the impact on the amenity of any adjoining premises
Whether the proposal complies with the condition in paragraph AA.2.(3)(b) with regards to the submission of a report for the management of the construction of the development
Whether the proposal complies with paragraph AA.3.(2)(c)(ii) with regards to the showing of the dimensions of the proposed windows

What decided it

The addition of an extra storey would severely disrupt the harmony of the existing terrace and cause unacceptable harm to external appearance and neighbouring amenity through overshadowing and overbearing impact.

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
