Why it was refused

  1. The proposed flats would not provide an adequate standard of accommodation due to the undersized internal floor area of flats 2 and 3 and a substandard floor-to-ceiling height that would result in a poor sense of space, reduced natural ventilation and an increased risk of overheating. Therefore, the proposed development is contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy DM10 of the Core Strategy 2012.
  2. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary it is considered that the proposed development would result in increased demand for car parking spaces on Rodney Road which would exacerbate congestion and inconsiderate car parking which could impact on the highway safety, contrary to Policies DM9 and DM10 of the Core Strategy 2012.

From the council's decision notice.
