Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the rear extension, as built and proposed, on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
  • The effect of the rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of 28 and 32 Southern Way with regard to outlook, visual impact, light and sense of enclosure

What decided it

The considerable scale, mass, and depth of the rear extension, as built and proposed, unduly distorts the proportions of the host building and causes significant overbearing harm to the neighbouring property at 32 Southern Way, conflicting with development plan policies on character, appearance, and residential amenity.

Plan policies cited: Policy D4 of The London Plan, Policy 26 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031, Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031
