Decision:

The Committee was addressed by Councillor Joshua Chapman.

 

The report recommended that planning permission be granted, however following a motion to refuse the granting of planning permission it was RESOLVED that planning PERMISSION BE REFUSED for the following reasons;

 

·                The proposal, by reason of its design, would fail to integrate satisfactorily with the retained non-designated heritage asset, thereby resulting in harm to its visual integrity, contrary to Policies CP18 and DC67 of the Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD, the Council’s Heritage SPD, Policy 7.8 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

·                The proposal, by reason of its height and the lack of comparably tall buildings nearby, would fail to respect the character of Romford Town Centre, contrary to Policies DC61 and DC66 of the Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD, ROM19 of the Romford Area Action Plan and 2.15 of the London Plan.

 

Councillors Linda Hawthorn and Keith Darvill voted against the resolution.

 

Councillor Graham Williamson abstained from voting.
