Why it was refused

Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
By reason of its design, siting and prominence, the proposed replacement of an existing timber sash window with a door and fan light would represent an unsympathetic alteration to the host property, dilute the cohesion the pair of properties and result in loss of an original feature. The proposal would therefore result in less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the West Hill Road Conservation Area without public benefits to outweigh the harm identified. The proposed development is therefore contrary to the NPPF (2024), Policy HC1 of the London Plan, policies LP1, LP3 and LP5 of the Wandsworth Local Plan (2023), The Housing SPD (2016), the West Hill Road Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Strategy (2007) and the objectives of Section 72 (1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
