Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice

Your development due to the excessive depth of the basement under the mews building has not been
designed to minimise the impacts of construction on neighbouring properties in the surrounding area.
This would not meet Policy 45 A. 2. Of the City Plan 2019-2040 (April 2021) and Policy BEL4 of the
Belgravia Neighbourhood Plan 2023-2040 (March 2024).
