Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property, the semi-detached pair of which it forms part, and the surrounding Becontree Estate

What decided it

The proposal would appear disproportionately large and out of keeping with the original dwelling design, and would significantly reduce the characteristic openness of the corner plot that is distinctive to the Becontree Estate, contrary to Local Plan policies and heritage conservation principles.
