Delegated decision: Refused · Polly Davidson
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development, by reasons of the addition of three projecting balconies to the rear elevation
appears as an incompatible and incongruous addition to the terrace failing to successfully preserve and
enhance the setting and character of the Newtown Area of Special Local Character. As such, the proposal
fails to respect the context of the development in this area contrary to the principles of the National
Planning Policy Framework, policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan, policies 1, 28 and 30 of the Sutton
Local Plan, SPD 14 Creating Locally Distinctive Places.
2
Without evidence to the contrary, the application has failed to demonstrate that the proposal will
meet the council's minimum SuDS performance standards and water efficiency measures. As such, the
application would be contrary to Policies SI 5 and 13 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies 32 and 33 of the
Sutton Local Plan 2018.
3
The proposed development, by reason of the failure to comply with internal space requirements for
the floor to celing heights for units 1A, 3A and 4A and impact on outlook and daylight for flat 1A would fail to
provide a suitable level of amenity for future occupiers of the residential accommodation contrary to Policy
9 and 29 of the Sutton Local Plan (2018) and Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021).
4
A signed legal agreement is not in place to prohibit the future occupiers of the dwellings from
obtaining residential car parking permits in the Sutton Controlled Parking Zone, The proposed development
is therefore contrary to policies T4 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies 36 and 37 of the Sutton Local Plan
2018.
5
The proposed development, by reason of the proximity of the ground and first floor flats to the
adjoining flats would result in increased overlooking and loss of privacy to the detriment of the neighbouring
occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy 29 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
6
Without justification as to why the site is unsuitable or that it is unviable to provide 3 bedroom units
at this site, the proposal fails to accord with Policy 9 due to the failure to provide 50% of the development
as 3 bedroom units, as requited by Policy 9 b (ii) of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
