Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development is located in Flood Zone 2 and 3 and is therefore subject to high risk of
flooding. The flood depths in this area are considered too great to allow any bedrooms at ground floor
level and due to an inadequate Flood Risk Assessment and source control SuDS measures the
development fails to demonstrate that the proposed development would both be safe from flooding;
will not increase flood risk elsewhere or demonstrate measures to manage the risk of flooding from
surface water run-off and follow the drainage hierarchy in the London Plan. This is contrary to
guidance in Section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021); Policies SI 12 and SI 13 of
the London Plan (2021); Policy CP28 of the Core Strategy (2010) and Policies DMD59, DMD60 and
DMD61 of the Development Management Document (2014).
