Why it was refused

  1. – Achieving High Quality Design The proposed outbuilding, by virtue of its inappropriate and excessive bulk and scale, which would be immediately visible within the local street scene, would result in an incongruous form of development that would appear overly dominant within its context. In addition, the proposals result in a poor quality detailed design owing to the use of an excessively scaled parapet wall and the installation of garage doors with no drop-kerb or safe access in an otherwise residential setting, appearing as a utilitarian feature to the detriment of the host property and wider streetscene setting. The proposal is therefore contrary to: • The National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, August 2026); • Policy D4 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021); • Policies SP1 and SP3 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (December 2018); And • Policies D1 of the Draft Newham Local Plan 2026–2042 (Emerging Local Plan); and • Altering and Extending Your Home SPD (LBN, 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.
