Committee decision: Refused
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Reasons for Refusal
2. The proposal has not provided a contribution toward the delivery of social
rented and intermediate housing. The lack of an affordable housing
contribution has not been justified with the submission of a viability
statement to evidence why this is not possible. As such, the proposal is
contrary to Chapters 2 'Achieving sustainable development' and 5
'Delivering a sufficient supply of homes' of the National Planning Policy
Framework (NPPF) (2021), Policies H1 'Increasing housing supply' and H4
'Delivering affordable housing' of the London Plan (2021) and P1 'Social
rented and intermediate housing' of the Southwark Plan (2022).
3. The proposal fails to provide sufficient private and communal amenity
space on site resulting in poor amenity for future occupiers. Furthermore
the applicant has failed to mitigate the lack of onsite space by way of a
financial contribution. As such the proposal is contary to Policy P15 of the
Southwark Plan 2022 the 2015 Technical Update to the Residential Design
Standards SPD (2011) Affordable Housing SPD and Section 106 Planning
Obligations and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) SPD.
4. The proposal has failed to provide cycle storage provision resulting in poor
sustainable transport provisions. As such this proposal fails to comply with
Chapter 9 (Promoting sustainable transport) of the National Planning
Policy Framework (2021); Policy T5 (Cycling) of the London Plan (2021);
Policy P53 (Cycling) of the Southwark Plan (2022).
2
5. The proposal has failed to provide sufficient refuse storage demonstrating
that refuse will be appropiratley stored within the site protectecing the
amenity of the site and the area in general from litter, odour and potential
vermin/pest nuisance in accordance with Chapters 8 (Promoting healthy
and safe communities) and 12 (Achieving well-designed places) of the
National Planning Policy Framework (2021); Policy D4 (Delivering good
design) of the London Plan (2021); Policy P62 (Reducing Waste).
6. The proposed mansard (front elevation) would have a detrimental impact
on the street scape , would be out keeping and would not be subserviant.
Therefore the posposed mansard (front elevation) fails to comply with
Policy D4 Delivering good design of the London Plan 2021 Policy P13
Design of places and Policy P14 Design quality of the Southwark Plan
