Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development results in a loss of a family-sized unit, fails to demonstrate the need for a HMO
in this location and due to insufficient information fails to demonstrate that the dwelling would be suitable for the
intended occupiers in terms of the standard of facilities and amenity space provision. The proposal therefore fails
to contribute to achieving mixed and balanced communities, results in a loss of a family dwelling and would provide
substandard accommodation and is contrary to Policy H5, H6 and H9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
2
The proposal fails to demonstrate that cycle parking and refuse facilities can be provided within the site

boundary which complies with the London Cycling Design Standards and Refuse & Recycling Storage Design
Guide (2022). The application is therefore contrary to Policy T5 of the London Plan (2021), and Policies H6, T3,
Q12 and Q13 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
3
In the absence of a Unilateral Undertaking or other legal agreement securing appropriate mitigation by
restricting future occupiers of the development from obtaining parking permits within the Controlled Parking Zone,
providing car club membership and providing cycle hire membership, the proposed development would fail to
encourage sustainable modes of transport and likely exacerbate existing parking stress and congestion on the
surrounding highway network. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies D4, H6, T1 and T6 of the Lambeth
Local Plan (2021) Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021).
