About this application

This is a planning application for demolition at 32 Pembroke Road Greenford UB6 9QP. Ealing has handled 13,320 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 1,421 applications in total for the UB6 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed single-storey side and rear extension, by reason of its excessive depth, scale, bulk and siting, would fail to appear subordinate to the host dwelling and would constitute an overdevelopment of the site. The development would result in a dominant and incongruous addition that would adversely affect the character and appearance of the application site and surrounding area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies 7B and 7.4 of the Ealing Development Management Development Plan Document (2013).
  2. The proposed single-storey side and rear extension and conversion of the dwelling into three self-contained residential units would, by reason of the scale and siting of the extension along the shared boundary with No. 34 Pembroke Road, the creation of a continuous flank wall of approximately 12.1m in length, and the intensified use of the site, private amenity areas and shared accessway, result in an overbearing form of development together with increased noise, disturbance and activity levels that would adversely affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy 7B of the Ealing Development Management Development Plan Document (2013).
  3. he proposed development would fail to provide an acceptable standard of residential accommodation for future occupiers. In particular, Flat 3, located at the single storey side and rear extension, would fail to meet the minimum internal floorspace requirements set out within the Technical Housing Standards: Nationally Described Space Standard (2015). Consequently, the proposal would provide substandard living accommodation, contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and the Technical Housing Standards: Nationally Described Space Standard (2015).
  4. The proposed development would fail to provide an adequate standard of private outdoor amenity space for future occupiers. In particular, Flat 2, located at first-floor and loft level would not be provided with any private external amenity space and no communal amenity space is proposed to compensate for this deficiency. As a result, the development would fail to provide a satisfactory living environment for future occupiers and would not achieve the minimum standards for outdoor amenity provision expected for residential development. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy 7D of the Ealing Development Management Development Plan Document (2013), which require residential developments to provide high-quality and usable private and/or communal amenity space for future residents.
