Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
In the absence of sufficient and satisfactory cycle parking provision, the development has failed to
provide sufficient secure, integrated, convenient and accessible cycle parking facilities and thus fail
to promote sustainable form of transport, contrary to, in particular, policy DMT1 of the Merton Sites
and Policies Plan 2014 and T5 of the London Plan 2021.
2
By reason of absence of satisfactory refuse provision, the scheme is considered to adversely
impact on the free flow of traffic in the locality to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety.
Therefore the proposal fails to comply with, in particular, policy SI7 and SI8 of the London Plan
2021 and CS17 of Merton's Core Strategy Policy
3
The proposal fails to include any information relating to sustainability measures and therefore the
proposed development has failed to meet the objectives of policies SI 2 and SI 5 of the London
Plan 2021 and policy CS15 of Merton Core Planning Strategy (2011)
4
In the absence of a Flood Risk Assessment incorporating Sustainable Urban Drainage Design, it
has not been demonstrated the scheme would safeguard the risk of flooding in the locality. The
proposal is contrary to, in particular, London Plan policy SI 13, Merton Core Strategy (2011) policy
CS16 and Merton Sites and Policies Plan (2014) policies DM F1 and DM F2.
5
In the absence of a satisfactory Air Quality Neutral Statement, the applicant has failed to
demonstrate that the development would be at minimum air quality neutral, not worsening local air
quality thereby failing to comply with policy SI1 of the London Plan 2021
