Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed hip to gable extension on the appearance of the pair of semi-detached houses and the streetscene
  • The effect of the proposed rear extension on the host dwelling and the living conditions of the adjoining occupiers at Nos.13 & 17 Mashiters Walk
  • The effect of the proposed rear dormer on the appearance of the host dwelling and the rear garden environment
  • The effect of the proposed outbuilding on the appearance of the surroundings and the living conditions of the adjoining occupiers

What decided it

The proposed development fails to accord with the Havering Local Plan and Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD guidance on design quality, and would cumulatively result in harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
