Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development by virtue of height, bulk, detailed design and use of materials would harm the
appearance of the individual building and the character of the surrounding townscape. As such the proposal is
contrary to policies Q2, Q5, Q8 and Q11 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021).
2
In the absence of supporting information relating to the proposed lift and fire safety, the proposals fail to
demonstrate the highest standards of fire safety can be achieved. As such, the proposal fails to comply with
policies D5 and D12 of the London Plan (2021) and policy D3 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021).
3
In the absence of an enforceable mechanism to secure planning obligations required to mitigate the
impacts of this development, the proposal would fail to promote the up-take of sustainable modes of travel and
reduce dependence on the private car. Those obligations are: redundant footway crossover removal, financial
contribution towards the consultation on and implementation of a CPZ, provision of car and cycle hire
memberships. This is contrary to Policies D4, T3 and T6 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021), Policies T5
and T6 of the London Plan (2021) which seek to promote sustainable modes of travel.
