a new conservatory to the back of the existing building to provide space for the patients and staff. Reducing the kerb to accommodate a new driveway and relocating 3 car parking spaces to the front of the building

Authority: London Borough of Havering
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: community-institutional · Minor retail and services
Inspector: Bartlett R

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining residential properties
the effect of the re-located car parking, access and driveway on highway safety

What decided it

The new parking and access arrangements to the front of the site would be detrimental to pedestrian and highway safety due to limited visibility, restricted turning space, and the proximity of the new side extension to the footpath, contrary to paragraph 115 of the Framework.

Framework references: 115, 135, 191

Plan policies cited: Policy 26, Policy 7, Policy 24, Policy T6

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
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.
