Members' Code of Conduct for Planning Matters Received and noted a report outlining proposed changes to the Members Code of Conduct for Planning Matters, following publication by the Government of the new Model Code of Conduct for Members which was adopted by the Assembly on 25 July 2007. 46. 77 Westfield Road Dagenham (DC0700530/FUL) Agreed to refuse planning permission for the erection of a two-bedroom detached house within side garden for the following reasons: 1. The proposed development by virtue of its siting, location and design would appear bulky and overbearing in appearance resulting in loss of light and visual impact to neighbouring properties and in particular number 79 Westfield Road, contrary to policies DE1 and H13 of the Council's Unitary Development Plan (adopted 1995). 2. The development does not make satisfactory off-street car parking provision and as such would result in additional parking pressures along Westfield Road, contrary to policy H17 and the Interim Car Parking Standards (January 2002) of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan (adopted 1995). 3. The proposed dwelling has not been designed to Lifetime Homes Standards and as such could not be adapted in order to meet any future changing needs of occupiers and as such is contrary to policy 3A.4 of the London Plan. 4. The proposed siting of the new dwelling does not address the street or Page 1 respect the pattern of development in the locality and would set an undesirable precedent for other similar proposals in the area contrary to policy H13 of the Unitary Development Plan (adopted 1995). 47. 1 Park Drive Dagenham (DC0700598/FUL) Agreed to refuse planning permission for the erection of two storey side extension, one and two storey rear extension and rear and side dormer windows in connection with conversion of house into 2 no. one bedroom and 2 no. two bedroom flats for the following reasons: 1. The proposed arrangement of private amenity space results in a poor and cramped layout to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers contrary to Policy H15 of the Barking and Dagenham Unitary Development Plan. 2. The proposed side dormer window would by reason of its size, scale, design and siting be obtrusive and out of keeping to the detriment of the visual amenities of the surrounding residential occupiers and the appearance of the street scene, contrary to policies H22 DE1, and Appendix 7 of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Unitary Development Plan. 3. The proposed development fails to provide adequate internal habitable floorspace and has a poor arrangement of accommodation failing to provide for convenience of use to the detriment of residential amenity of future occupiers and contrary to policy H16 of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan and policy BP6 of the Local Development Framework. 48. 20 Chadway Dagenham (DC0700457/FUL) Agreed to refuse planning permission for loft conversion involving construction of a side and rear dormer window in connection with converting the property into 2 no two-bedroom flats for the following reasons: 1. The proposed development by reason of the sizing, location and design of the side dormer window will result in an unacceptable form of development that will unbalance this pair of semi-detached dwellings and be out of character with the existing building and surrounding area, contrary to Policy H22 of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan (adopted 1995). 2. The flats do not provide sufficient internal habitable floorspace, and as such would result in sub-standard units of accommodation detrimental to the living standards enjoyed by any future occupiers of the flats, contrary to policies H10 and H16 of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan (adopted 1995). 49. 26 Rosslyn Road Barking (DC0700641/FUL) Agreed to grant planning permission for the conversion of property into 2 on bedroom flats subject to the following conditions: Page 2 1.
