Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation, with respect to external amenity space
  • Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for vehicular and cycle parking

What decided it

The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the Becontree Estate, a non-designated heritage asset, through erosion of the characteristic corner setbacks and disruption of the planned estate layout, which constitutes moderate harm that is not outweighed by material considerations.
