Why it was refused

  1. Reason 1: The proposed development, by reason of its scale, mass and resultant bulky design, constitutes an unsympathetic and disproportionate addition that fail to respect the character and appearance of the host property and surroundings. The proposal is therefore contrary to: [redacted] The National Planning Policy Framework (MHCLG, August 2026); [redacted] Policy D3 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021); [redacted] Policies SP1 and SP3 of the London Borough of Newham Local Plan (December [redacted] Polices D1 and D3 of the Newham Local Plan 2026-2042 (Emerging Local Plan). Reason 2: The proposed development, by reason of its excessive bulk and scale, would result in an unacceptable loss of daylight, sunlight, and outlook (including a sense of overbearing and enclosure) towards the occupiers of No. 30 Gwendoline Avenue. Consequently, the development represents unneighbourly development and is contrary to: • The National Planning Policy Framework (August 2026) • Policy D3 of the London Plan (GLA, March 2021) • Policy SP8 of the Newham Local Plan (December 2018); and • Policies D1 and D3 of the Newham Local Plan 2026-2042 (Emerging Local Plan). The above policies can be viewed online via the respective government websites ie. the www.gov.uk website.

From the council's decision notice.
