About this application

This is a planning application at Stoke House Stoke Road Kingston Upon Thames KT2 7NX. Kingston has handled 5,690 applications of this type. This one was decided in 62 days, 6 days longer than Kingston's typical decision time. The site is in the Coombe Wood conservation area. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 1,277 applications in total for the KT2 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has failed to discharge the burden of proof, on the balance of probability, to demonstrate that the rear outbuilding at Stoke House has been in continuous use as a separate, clearly subdivided and self-contained dwelling (a separate planning unit) for a minimum period of four years, therefore the requirements of Section 171B(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 have not been met, and the change of use to a separate dwellinghouse is not immune from enforcement action.

From the council's decision notice.
