Why it was refused

  1. Reason 1 The proposed development by way of increased ridge height would result in an awkward and top heavy roof form that fails to respect the character and appearance of the area and would result in an incongruous form that disrupts the established pattern of development within the nearby viinity. The proposal is therefore contrary to: • The National Planning Policy Framework (DLUHC, December 2023); • Policies D1, D3, and D4 of the London Plan (GLA, 2021); and • Policies SP1, SP3 and SP8 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan 2018. • 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.
