Why it was refused

  1. Under Schedule 2, Part 3, M.2(1)(a) of Class M Part 3 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended), prior approval is required and refused as a number of the proposed flats do not meet the relevant Minimum Gross Internal Floor Areas (as specified in The Nationally Described Space Standard 2015) for the accommodation shown on the drawings. Further, owing to its failure to provide sufficient information/evidence to demonstrate that the proposed development would meet the required floor to ceiling height across the proposed accommodation in line with internal space standards set out in Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021.

From the council's decision notice.
