Delegated decision: Refused · Zahra Rad
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed ground and first floor rear extensions by reason of scale, siting and
design would result in a overly dominant and incongruous form of development which
fails to respect the scale and form of the original building causing harm to the
character and appearance of the host property, terrace and wider streetscene. The
proposed development is therefore contrary to Paragraph 127 of the National Planning
Policy Framework (2019); Policy D6 'Housing Quality and Standards' of the London
Plan (March 2021); Policy 15 ‘High Quality Design for Lewisham’ of the Core Strategy
(June 2011); DM Policies 30 ‘Urban Design and Local Character’ and 31 'Alterations
and extensions to existing buildings including residential extensions' of the
Development Management Local Plan (November 2014); and the Alterations and
Extensions Supplementary Planning Document (April 2019).
2
The height, depth and relationship to the boundary of the proposed single storey rear
extension would result in a significant overbearing impact and increased sense of
enclosure upon the neighbouring occupiers at No.28 Downham Way contrary to
Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), Policy 15 ‘High
Quality Design for Lewisham’ of the Core Strategy (June 2011); DM Policies 30 ‘Urban
Design and Local Character’ and 31 'Alterations and extensions to existing buildings
including residential extensions' of the Development Management Local Plan
(November 2014); and the Alterations and Extensions Supplementary Planning
Document (April 2019).
