Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether there is sufficient space to manoeuvre vehicles without detriment to other users of the shared space
- whether the development results in an increased risk of flooding
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The development is harmful to the character and appearance of the area, being incongruous and inconsistent with the established suburban character and contrary to Policies 26 and 27 of the Havering Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy 26, Policy 27, Policy 10, Policy 23, Policy 24, Policy 32, Policy 13
