Why it was refused

Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by virtue of its layout, scale and mass, would be visually intrusive and out of keeping with the form of development in the immediate surrounding area and detract from the character and appearance of the host site and the surrounding area. As such the proposal would not comply with Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies CS8, DM10 and DM12 of the LDF Core Strategy (2012) as well as guidance contained within the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames Residential Design Guide SPD (2013).
