Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed rear terrace, associated balustrade and
replacement of the rear first floor sash window with a door, by
reason of the loss of an original architectural feature and resulting
in an over cluttered, incongruous and discordant form of
development, would harm to the significance of the locally listed
host building and would fail to preserve or enhance the character
and appearance of the De Beauvoir Conservation Area. The
development is contrary to Policies LP1 (Design Quality and Local
Character), LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets) and LP4 (Non
Designated Heritage Assets) of the Local Plan 2033 (2020), Policy
D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design-led approach) and
HC1 (Heritage conservation and growth) of the London Plan
(2021) and the relevant sections of the Residential Extensions and
Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (REA SPD) (2009).
2
The proposed terrace and privacy screens, by reason of their
height, location and proximity to neighbouring habitable spaces,
would result in undue or excessive overbearing and overlooking
whereby the living conditions and privacy of neighbouring
occupiers would be subject to significant adverse impacts. The
development is contrary to Policy LP2 (Development and Amenity)
of Local Plan 2033 (2020), Policy D3 (Optimising site capacity
through the design-led approach) of the London Plan (2021) and
the relevant sections of the Residential Extensions and Alterations
Supplementary Planning Document (REA SPD) (2009).
3
The proposed rear terrace, by reason of its size, location and
proximity to adjoining habitable residential windows, would result in
adverse noise and disturbance impacts to adjoining residential
occupiers to the detriment of their living conditions, contrary to
Policies LP2 (Development and Amenity) and LP58 (Improving the
Environment - Pollution) of Local Plan 2033 (2020), Policies D3
(Optimising site capacity through the design-led approach) and
D14 (Noise) of the London Plan (2021) and the relevant sections
of the Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary
Planning Document (REA SPD) (2009).
