Why it was refused

  1. Achieving a High Quality Design The proposed ground floor rear extension, by virtue of its inappropriate scale and bulk fails to provide sufficient subservience to the host property, detracting from the design of the host building and wider local vicinity which has already been carefully considered to maximise residential density. It would subsume the curtilage to the property and represents an ill-fitting pattern of development within the vicinity. Therefore, the proposal is contrary to: • National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, December 2024); and • The London Plan (GLA, March 2021); and • Policies SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP8 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (December 2018); and • Altering And Extending Your Home SPD (Adopted 01 February 2018) The above policies can be viewed online via the respective government websites ie. the www.gov.uk website.

From the council's decision notice.
