Why it was refused

Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
It has not been demonstrated that the flood compensation storage strategy would be robust and adequately maintained for its lifetime nor have sufficient details been provided with respect to the proposed flood resistance or resilience methods. The proposal is therefore contrary to Environment Agency Standing Advice, the NPPF (2024), Policies SI 12 and D11 of the London Plan (2021) and DM4 of the Core Strategy (2012).
2
No legal mechanism has been submitted to preclude residents from applying for on-street car parking permits in the Controlled Parking Zone. Without such a mechanism, the proposal could result in traffic congestion in surrounding roads and thereby have an unacceptable impact upon highway or pedestrian safety,contrary to the NPPF 2024, Policy T6 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies DM9 and DM10 of the Kingston Core Strategy 2012 and the Kingston Sustainable Transport SPD (2013).
