®Planning appeal decision
53 Treswell Road, Dagenham, RM9 6XL
Planning appeal 3339293 at 53 Treswell Road, Dagenham, RM9 6XL (London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council) was allowed on 12 August 2024 by Inspector Willmer P, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the proposal on the architectural integrity of the host property, the terrace of which it is part, the street scene and thereby the character and appearance of the wider Becontree Estate, a non-designated heritage asset.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the architectural integrity of the host property, the terrace of which it is part, the street scene and thereby the character and appearance of the wider Becontree Estate, a non-designated heritage asset
- the impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of 51 Treswell Road in terms of its potential to appear overbearing
What decided it
The proposed extensions, through their well-conceived design with a setback two-storey element and subservient proportions, would not harm the significance of the Becontree Estate as a non-designated heritage asset or materially harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
