Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The application submission has failed to submit marketing evidence to demonstrate a lack of demand for
office floorspace, which would be lost without replacement. This is contrary to the objective of protecting
employment generating floorspace within sustainable locations in the borough. The proposal would not meet
exceptions to the relevant policy and is contrary to policy ED1 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021) and
policy E1 of the London Plan (2021).
