Committee decision: Refused
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed roof extensions, by reason of their form, design and appearance, would result in a
detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the Wandle Valley Conservation Area. The
public benefits of the proposed roof extensions, to provide 16 new residential units, are not
considered to outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the significance of this designated
heritage asset. Therefore, proposed development is contrary to Sections 12 and 16 of the NPPF
2021, Policies HC1, D3 and D4 of the London Plan 2022 and Policies DM D2, DM D3 and DM D4
of the Sites and Policies Plan 2014.
