Gravity Bar, a cocktail bar located in Collier Row, has received a planning enforcement notice from Havering Council requiring the demolition of its unauthorized outdoor seating area. The council claims the structure, described as a "pergola style extension," is visually intrusive and disrupts the street's appearance. Gravity Bar must complete the demolition by April 10, or risk prosecution. The bar has the option to appeal the decision, though previous planning applications have faced refusal. The council emphasizes that the extension's design and materials were unsuitable, harming the area's visual quality.
The enforcement notice said Gravity Bar would not be granted planning permission for the seating area due to it being "harmful to the appearance of the street".
The development in the form of the front extension (pergola), by reason of its very poor overall design and unsympathetic materials, forms an unacceptably dominant and visually intrusive feature.
