Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
By reason of its scale, design and location, the proposed single storey
extension would constitute an unsympathetic and incongruous form of
development that would compete with and dominate the existing property
causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the terrace and
wider area. The development would therefore fail to comply with policies LP1
and LP5 of the Wandsworth Local Plan (2023) and the Housing SPD (2016).
2
The proposed single storey extension by reason of its scale, design and siting
constitutes an unneighbourly form of development that harms the amenity of the
neighbouring property in the form of loss outlook, being overbearing and
creating an increased sense of enclosure. The application has also failed to
Director of Place: Paul Moore
demonstrate that there would not be unacceptable harm to neighbouring
windows in respect to reductions in daylight. The development is therefore
contrary to policy LP2 of the Wandsworth Local Plan (2023) and the Housing
SPD (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 principle of the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and
negotiation could not overcome the reasons for refusal.
