Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed roof terrace including associated balustrade and external staircase would give rise to an
uncharacteristic and incongruous feature within the row of terraced houses, which make a positive contribution to
the Rectory Grove Conservation Area. The proposal would result in a low level of less than substantial harm and
thereby fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Rectory Grove Conservation Area, contrary
to Policies Q5, Q11, and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
