Committee decision: Refused
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development seeks permanent planning permission and includes no design and landscaping
proposals to mitigate the harsh visual appearance of the proposed development including the 3m
solid perimeter fence and large amounts of hardstanding. As such the development is considered
very poor design and will have a moderate to high negative visual impact to the character of the
area. The development therefore conflicts London Plan (2021) Policies D1-D5, D8 and G7 and
Merton Sites and Policies Plan - 2014 (SPP) Policy DM D2 together with the requirements of
Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021.
2
Biodiversity net gain proposals have not been incorporated into the proposal and there have been
no reasons identified which demonstrate this cannot be achieved for this application site. As such
the proposal conflicts with paragraph 174 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 and
London Plan (2021) Policies GG2 and D8.
New Neighbour Notification Householder Prior Approval
3
The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the development would not adversely impact on the
safety and congestion of Streatham Road and The Bungalows contrary to Policies T4 (Assessing
and mitigating transport impacts) and T7 (Deliveries, servicing and construction) of the London
Plan (2021), Policies, CS18 (Active Transport) and CS20 (Parking, Servicing and Delivery) of
Merton's Adopted Core Planning Strategy (July 2011), Policies DM D2 (Design considerations in all
developments), DM E1 (Employment areas in Merton), DM T2 (Transport impacts of development),
DM T3 (Car parking and servicing standards), and DM T5 (Access to the Road Network) of
Merton's Adopted Sites and Policies Plan (July 2014).
