The Newham Council planning officers criticized proposed plans from Dilawar Properties Ltd, stating that the rooms were excessively small and deemed of poor quality.
In a recent council meeting, a representative of Dilawar Properties contended that each of the proposed 28 rooms would host only one person, contradicting council estimates that suggested a potential capacity of 56 residents. They insisted the accommodation for vulnerable individuals would not undergo a material change.
Despite intentions to remodel the property and create self-contained living spaces, the council's planning officers were concerned about adherence to London Plan guidelines—citing the room sizes and lack of adequate sunlight as detrimental to residents' long-term health.
A planning officer articulated serious reservations regarding the application, noting, "The size of each room would be detrimental to future residents' long-term health and wellbeing, and several rooms would not receive enough sunlight throughout the year."
