About this application

This is a planning application for a two storey rear extension at 70 Greenford Avenue Hanwell W7 3QP. Ealing has handled 13,320 applications of this type. This one was decided in 129 days, 10 weeks longer than Ealing's typical decision time. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 681 applications in total for the W7 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed part single-storey and part two-storey rear extensions, by reason of their cumulative scale, bulk, massing, full-width form and insufficient separation from the flank boundary, would fail to appear as subordinate additions to the host dwelling. The development would create an overly dominant and visually intrusive built form on a prominent corner plot adjoining Cuckoo Lane and the public footway. The lack of a meaningful set-in would result in a prominent and largely unrelieved flank elevation, which would be harmful to the appearance of the host property, the streetscene and the character of the surrounding residential area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021), Policies 7.4 and 7B of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013), Policy DAA of the Ealing Local Plan Regulation 22, and the Ealing Housing Design Guidance (2022).

From the council's decision notice.
