Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the viability of the business operations at Nos.7 and 9 High Street, Hornchurch, with reference to overdevelopment and ease of access
  • the amenities of neighbouring occupiers with particular reference to overbearing impact, sense of enclosure and loss of light and outlook
  • the design quality of the development and how it relates to the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development represents overdevelopment of poor architectural design that conflicts with national and local planning policy regarding design quality, commercial viability, and character, with no sufficient justification to warrant retention.

Framework references: 130

Plan policies cited: Policy 35, Policy 26
