Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by reason of the rear dormer and roof terrace,
would present an overly dominant and incongruent development on a prominent
corner plot. The proposed works would cause harm to the character and
Director of Place: Paul Moore
appearance of the host property, the wider streetscene and the Oxford Road
Conservation Area. The proposed works would therefore fail to comply with
policies LP1, LP2, LP3, and LP5 of the Wandsworth Local Plan and would fail to
be in accordance with Section 72 (1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and
Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policy HC1 (C) of the London Plan (2021) and
the objectives of the NPPF (2024).
2
The proposed roof terrace would result in a greater degree of overlooking into
neighbouring amenity spaces, leading to an increased sense of being
overlooked and loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers. The proposal would
therefore fail to comply with policy LP2 of the Wandsworth Local Plan.
