Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of the newly created flats and on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 17 and 19a The Parade, with particular regard to privacy and overlooking

What decided it

The proposed window to flat 2 on the east elevation would result in unacceptable overlooking of the neighbouring garden/yard at 19a The Parade, harming privacy in breach of development plan policy and the Framework.

Plan policies cited: Policy D6 of the London Plan, Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan
