1
The proposal, by reason of its scale and siting, fails to adhere to Policies LP1
and LP3 of the adopted local plan and Paragraphs 205 and 208 of the NPPF.
The proposed alterations fail to preserve the appearance and character of the
Wandsworth Town Conservation Area and would fail to maintain subservience
to the host property as viewed from surrounding properties.
2
The proposal, by reason of its bulk and siting, would have an unacceptable
impact on the amenity of adjoining properties, due to the overbearing scale of
the proposed extensions when viewed from adjoining properties and is contrary
to the aims of the NPPF, London Plan and policy LP2. .
Director of Place: Paul Moore
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, in order to ensure that the applicant has been given every
opportunity to submit an application which is likely to be considered favourably.
In addition further guidance was offered to the applicant by the case officer
during the processing of the application to identify amendments to address
those elements of the scheme considered unacceptable. However, the
necessary amendments to make the application acceptable are substantial and
would materially change the development proposal. They would require further
consultations to be undertaken prior to determination, which could not take
place within the statutory determination period specified by the Department of
Communities and Local Government. You are therefore encouraged to consider
submission of a fresh application incorporating the material amendments set out
below which are necessary to make the scheme acceptable.
Required amendments:
Provide an arboricultural impact assessment.
Remove the two-storey element of the proposed extension.
