- The suitability of the access and parking arrangements for the existing and proposed dwelling
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Becontree Estate caused by the siting of the proposed dwelling, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of land were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the Becontree Estate, a locally distinctive and historically important interwar housing development.
