Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed BT Street Hub by reason of its design and location is considered to lead to the
introduction of unnecessary and excessive street advertisement furniture that fails to complement
the use and function of the space and leads to visual clutter and excessive levels of street
advertisement to the detriment of the visual amenity of the local area, contrary to London Plan 2021
policy D8 and Merton Sites and Policies Plan 2014 policy DM D5.
2
The applicant has failed to demonstrate the proposed BT Street Hub would not have a detrimental
impact to highways and pedestrian safety and vehicular movement along Lambton Road, Raynes
Park. This would be contrary to London Plan 2021 Policy T6, Core Planning Strategy Policy CS18
and CS20, and Policies DMD2 and DMT2 of the Sites and Policies Plan 2014.
