About this application

This is a planning application for a loft conversion at 117 Havelock Road Luton LU2 7PR. Luton has handled 2,500 applications of this type. This one was decided in 54 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 963 applications in total for the LU2 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The development, as indicated on plan numbers DC01, DC02, DC03, DC04, DC05, DC06, DC07, DC08, DC09, DC10, DC11, DC12, E101, E102, E103, E104, E105, E106, P101, P102, P103, P104, P105, P106, P107, P108 results in the loss of an existing 3 bedroom dwelling which fails to maximise the opportunity of the site to assist in delivering the mix of housing that would meet the identified need within the Luton Housing Market Area as established within the Luton Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) and recent Authority Monitoring Report (AMR). The development would thereby be contrary to Policies LLP1, LLP15, LLP17, LLP25, LLP31 and LLP32 of the Luton Local Plan 2011 -2031 and the principles relating to housing with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), or the Framework 24th December 2025

From the council's decision notice.
