Why it was refused

  1. Achieving a High Quality Design The proposed single storey side and rear extension, by reason of its excessive scale, bulk, depth and cumulative massing, would fail to provide sufficient subservience to the host property and would detract from its character, features and original form. The proposal would introduce a dominant and visually intrusive form of development that would disrupt the locally established pattern of development within the wider streetscape and rear garden setting. • National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, August 2026); and • Policy D3 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021); and • Policies SP1 and SP3 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (December 2018); and • Policy D1 of the Emerging Local Plan (2026 – 2042); 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.
