61 Brackley Square, Woodford Green

Appeal 6005325 · London Borough of Redbridge · Planning Inspector · decided 27 August 2026 · dismissed

Subdivision of garden and development of a two-storey detached 3-bedroom dwelling on the land to the rear.

Cited in: 1. DP3(3) as a "should be refused" policy

Why this is cited. This appeal shows the same DP3(3) trigger applied to conflicts with DP3's principles on tree cover and access: the conflict meant the proposal “should be refused” and the housing benefit was substantially outweighed.

Key points

Tree loss: "contrary to the key principles in Policy DP3 of the Framework 2026, which include maintaining and enhancing tree cover" (¶23).
"Policy DP3 paragraph 3 states that development proposals should be refused" (¶30).
