Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed extensions, by reason of their depth, height, form and sitting, would be unduly
dominant and overbearing, resulting in harm to the living conditions of occupiers at No. 82
Carisbrook Road, contrary to London Plan (2021) policies D3 and D4, policy CS.14 of the Merton
LDF Core Planning Strategy (2011) and policy DM D2 and DM D3 of the Merton Sites and Policies
Plan (2014)
2
The proposed extensions, by reason of their depth, height, form and sitting, would appear out of
keeping with the scale, proportions and design of the original building, the semi-detached pair as
well as other houses along the street. The proposals would therefore cause harm to the character
and appearance of the building, its pair and the wider area, contrary to London Plan (2021) policies
D3 and D4, policy CS.14 of the Merton Core Planning Strategy (2011) and policy DM D2 and DM
D3 of the Merton Sites and Policies Plan (2014)
3
The proposed development would result in a poor standard of accommodation to the detriment of
the amenities of future occupiers due to inadequate external amenity spaces. The proposals would
fail to comply with policy DM D2 of the Merton Sites and Policies Plan (2014) and Policy D6 of the
London Plan (2021)
4
The proposal would not provide a mix of housing types to meet the needs of all sectors of the
community. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Merton Core Strategy (2011) policy CS8,
and policy H10 of the London Plan (2021)
5
The proposal would exacerbate pressure on kerbside parking locally to the detriment of the
amenities of existing residents. The proposal would directly result in highway safety issues due to
the use of the front forecourt for car parking, facilitated by the applicant's placement of refuse, cycle

and landscaping along with the positioning of the boundary wall. As such, the proposal would be
contrary to policy DM T2 and DM T3 of the Merton Sites and Policies Plan (2014) and policy T4
and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021)
