Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposal would result in the loss of an existing single family dwellinghouse. The applicant has failed to
provide evidence demonstrating an identified local need for a large HMO. The development is therefore
unacceptable in land use terms and contrary to Policy H8 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies H3 and H9 of the
Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
2
The application does not include a legal mechanism to deliver planning obligations for securing: (i) the
provision of car club membership to occupiers of the proposed dwelling; (ii) that the development is car parking
permit free; and (iii) provision of cycle hire membership to occupiers of the proposed dwelling and (iv) contribution
to cycle hangers. The development would therefore not promote sustainable modes of travel, and the transport

impacts of the development would not be mitigated. This is contrary to Policies T4, T5 and T6 of the London Plan
(2021) and Policies D4, T3 and T6 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021).
