Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Road safety-
The application site sits in an area in which driver awareness/visibility is
key- there is a loading dock alongside a cycle lane and busy A-road. It is
accepted there are existing 2no. phone kiosks hindering visibility however
an illuminated panel with sequenced advertisements would potentially be
more distracting than the existing - thus presenting a collision risk for both
pedestrians, cyclists and highway users. This is contrary to the National
Planning Policy and Framework (2021), the London Plan (2021): Policy T2
Healthy streets & Policy T4 Assessing and mitigating transport impacts, as
well as the Southwark Plan (2022) P43 Outdoor advertisements and
1
signage & P50 Highways impacts.
2
Heritage impacts-
The introduction of an illuminated advertising panel in an area largely
devoid of internal illumination would introduce a degree of less than
substantial harm upon heritage assets in proximity (Addington Square
conservation area and Gr.II listed 131-155 Camberwell Road). Thus
contrary to the National Planning Policy and Framework (2021); London
Plan (2021) Policy HC1 - Heritage conservation and growth; and;
Southwark Plan (2022) Policy P19 Listed buildings P20 Conservation
areas, P21 Conservation of the historic environment and natural heritage &
P43 Outdoor advertisements and signage.
