Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed conversion would fail to provide any accommodation which would be suitable for family
occupation, resulting in an unbalanced housing mix to the detriment of maintaining mixed and balanced
communities. There are no site constraints which would restrict the development from providing family sized
accommodation and the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the provision of family-sized accommodation has
been considered. As such, the proposed development is considered to be unacceptable and contrary to policies H4

and H6 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and policy H10 of the London Plan (2021).
2
The proposed dormer, by reason its scale and massing, would constitute an incongruous addition, one
which fails to read as subordinate to the host building and is contrary the guidance set out within the Lambeth
Design Guide Part 4 SPD (2023). As such, the proposed dormer is contrary to policies Q5, Q8 and Q11 of the
Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and the Lambeth Design Guide Part 4 Building Alterations, Extensions and Retrofit
SPD (2023).
3
In the absence of an accurate proposed front elevation plan or elevation plans showing the proposed bike
storage within the front garden of the property, officers are unable to fully assess the development. This is contrary
to policies Q5, Q8, Q11, Q13 and Q14 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
4
By reason of the loss of the Sycamore tree within the rear garden, the development fails to maximise
opportunities for the provision of green infrastructure such as through the planting of trees and fails to demonstrate
that satisfactory provision has been made for future growth. As such, the scheme is considered contrary to policy
Q9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
5
Insufficient information has been submitted in relation to the proposed cycle storage arrangements. It has,
therefore, not been demonstrated that the development will be provided with adequate accessible cycle storage
which is of a design that would meet the needs of future occupiers and encourage the use of sustainable transport.
The application therefore fails to comply with Policies T1, T3 and Q13 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy
T5 of the London Plan (2021).
6
Insufficient information has been submitted to assess whether proposed refuse and recycling storage
would have sufficient capacity, would be suitably located and would provide acceptable standards of waste storage
to future occupiers. The proposal is, therefore, contrary to Policies Q2 and Q12 the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
7
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 cycle hire scheme, the proposed development would likely exacerbate existing
parking stress and congestion on the surrounding highway network. The application is therefore contrary to
Policies D4 and T1 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021).
