Decision made on 'visually overbearing' block of flats planned in Rainham
Briefly

The Havering Council planning team has rejected a proposal for a three-storey block of flats in Rainham due to concerns that the building's roof design would be visually overpowering and not in harmony with surrounding architecture. The application, submitted by Mr. McLaughlin, was deemed to lack high quality living standards, with inadequate private and communal spaces as well as insufficient accessibility features. Located within the Rainham Conservation Area, the development did not meet required aesthetic or functional standards for the region, as outlined in the decision document.
The dual roof types appear in conflict with one another and are visually overbearing.
The proposed development does not provide disabled access or a lift to the upper level accommodation and therefore fails to achieve the highest standards of accessible and inclusive design.
