Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
REASON: The proposed development including basement extension, ground and first floor plan form
alteration including demolition of the original rear wall by virtue of their detrimental impact on the
historic plan form, loss of historic fabric, harm to the retained fabric and unsympathetic design would
adversely affect the character and special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and
would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area in contrary
to NPPF (2024), Policies D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policies PLAN1, DH1 and DH2 of
Islington's SDMP (2023), Policy AAP8 of Bunhill and Clerkenwell Area Action Plan (2023), as well the
guidance contained within the Urban Design Guide (2017) and Clerkenwell Green Conservation Area
Design Guidelines (2002).
2
REASON: The applications by virtue of lack of definitive and corroborated information and sufficient
justification of proposed works, including but not limited to cleaning of external brickwork, internal wall
insulation, windows, shopfront and staircase, would not allow for full understanding and assessment
of the impact on the special architectural or historic interest of the heritage assets to demonstrate a
sufficient degree of compliance with NPPF (2024), Policies D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021),
Policies PLAN1, DH1 and DH2 of Islington’s SDMP (2023), Policy AAP8 of Bunhill and Clerkenwell
Area Action Plan (2023), as well the guidance contained within the Urban Design Guide (2017) and
Clerkenwell Green Conservation Area Design Guidelines (2002).
