Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The loss of the existing community use as a social club (Use Class F2(b)), which has
not been sufficiently justified, would result in harm to the provision of community uses
within the immediate vicinity and the borough as a whole. As such, the proposal
would therefore be contrary to Policies GG1, GG5 and S1 of the London Plan (2021)
and Policies CH1 and CH(a) of the Royal Greenwich Local Plan: Core Strategy with
Detailed Policies July (2014).
2
The development, by virtue of the lack of private external amenity space provided for
units 3 and 5 and the poor standard of outdoor amenity space provided for unit 4, the
proposal would fail to provide an acceptable standard of residential accommodation,
contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policies H5 and DH1 of the Royal
Greenwich Local Plan: Core Strategy with Detailed Policies (2014), the Technical
Housing Standards – Nationally Described Space Standard (2015) and the Mayors
Housing SPG (2016).
