Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
By reason of its scale, design and location the proposed development
represents an inappropriate and visually obtrusive addition that detracts from
the appearance and character of the host building and the streetscene.
Therefore, it contravenes the aims and objectives of policies LP1 and LP8 and
Wandsworth Local Plan (2023).
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 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.
