Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development would by reason of its scale, form and design cause harm to
the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area.
The proposed extensions would undermine the uniformity and coherence of the
host building and the surrounding group. The hip to gable extension would
result in the loss of symmetry in the roof of the host building. The proposed
dormer would not integrate successfully with the host building or be read as
suitably subservient to the existing roofscape. The proposal therefore fails to
comply with policies LP1 and LP5 of the Wandsworth Local Plan 2023 as well
as the guidance within the Housing SPD.
Director of Environment and Community Services: Paul Chadwick
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 principle of the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and
negotiation could not overcome the reasons for refusal.
