Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development would result in a significant loss of daylight and overbearing impact to ground floor flat
windows at No. 444 Kingston Road and would result in a significant loss of privacy, undue sense of
enclosure, overbearing impact and loss of daylight to habitable room windows within Cambridge Court,
contrary to Policies DM10 and DM11 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012).
2
The proposed two-storey upward extension would have a muddle and contrived appearance which
would detract from the character and design of the existing building and the wider area, contrary to Policies
DM10 and DM11 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012) and the NPPF (2021).
3
The proposed 3 bedroom units would fall below the minimum internal areas required by Table 3.1 of the
London Plan (2021), the proposed bedrooms for these flats would fall below the minimum width
requirements set out in the Nationally Described Space Standards (2015) and insufficient amenity space
would be provided for the residents of Cambridge Court (existing and proposed), contrary to Policies DM10
and DM11 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012), Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and the Nationally
Described Space Standard (2015).
