Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate the loss of a non-designated industrial site. No
Lambeth Planning Telephone 020 7926 1180

REFULZ
evidence has been submitted to confirm the details outlined within the marketing letters have taken place, and that
the builders yard and ancillary office have remained vacant during this time. The scheme is therefore contrary to
Policy E7 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy ED4 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
2
The proposal, by reason of its height, scale and bulk and proximity to the neighbouring residential property
at No.163 Streatham Vale would represent an un-neighbourly form of development that would appear visually
intrusive and overbearing to the detriment of this residential occupiers existing level of amenity. The proposal is
therefore considered to be contrary to Lambeth Local Plan Policy Q2
3
It has not been demonstrated that the neighbouring residential property at No.163 Streatham Vale would
achieve satisfactory daylight/sunlight levels and overshadowing impact in accordance with the Building Research
Establishment document 'Site layout planning for daylight and sunlight - a guide to good practice'. As such, the
proposal would result in unacceptable daylight and sunlight loss to this neighbouring residential occupier and
therefore is contrary to Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan.
4
In the absence of an enforceable mechanism to secure planning obligations required to mitigate the
impacts of this development, the proposal would fail to reduce dependence on the private car. These obligations
are a future CPZ contribution, no access to residential parking permits in the event of a future CPZ, car hire
membership, cycle hire membership and a monitoring fee. This is contrary to policies T3 and T6 of the Lambeth
Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021) and provisions of the NPPF (2021) which seek to promote sustainable modes of
travel.
