Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the first-floor element of the proposed 2-storey side/rear extension on the street and rear garden scene and the appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The first-floor extensions do not conform to the adopted SPD guidance requiring side extensions to be subordinate and maintain characteristic gaps between semi-detached pairs, and the bulk and incongruous appearance would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area and neighbouring amenity.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Havering Local PlanResidential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document paragraphs 6.5, 6.6, 5.14

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
