Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
By reason of its siting, scale and appearance, the proposed air-conditioning unit
would be of an incongruous and visually intrusive scale and design, resulting in
an awkward addition to the existing roofscape, harming the appearance and
spatial character of the host building, the setting of the Grade II Listed Battersea
Park and the setting and character of the Battersea Park Conservation Area.
The proposal would be contrary to Sections 66(1) and 72(1) of the Planning
(Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the National Planning
Policy Framework (2021), policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021), policies PL1
and IS3 of the Wandsworth Core Strategy (2016), policies DMS1, DMS2, and
DMH5 of the Wandsworth Development Management Policies Document
(2016), as well as guidance within the Housing SPD (2016) and the Battersea
Park Conservation Area Appraisal & Management Strategy (2014).
2
By reason of its siting, scale and lack of information on the noise impacts of the
proposed air-conditioning unit, the applicant has failed to adequately
demonstrate that the proposed development would not result in harm to the
amenities of neighbouring occupiers through undue noise and disturbance. The
proposal would therefore be contrary to policy DMS1 of the Wandsworth
Development Management Policies Document (2016).
In dealing with this application the Council has implemented the requirement in
the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive
and proactive manner and the Council has, as far as practicable, sought
solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the planning application.
We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in
the Local Plan consisting of the Core Strategy, Development Management
Policies Document, Supplementary Planning documents and where appropriate
the Site Specific Allocations Document as well as offering a full pre application
advice service. However, we have been unable to seek solutions to problems as
the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and negotiation could
not overcome the reasons for refusal.
