Surbiton Road, KT1 2HT

1. 1.The application, as submitted, provides inadequate technical information regarding the surface water drainage strategy, and how runoff generated by the proposed development can be managed and disposed of in a sustainable manner, without increasing flood risk to the site, or elsewhere, contrary to Policy DM4 of Kingston's Core Strategy, Policy SI 13 of the London Plan, Policies F4, F7 and F8 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026) and the National Standards for SuDS.
2. 2.The design of the proposed replacement building, by reason of its resulting massing, scale, form and bulk, together with its proximity to the neighbouring property at 4a Surbiton Crescent, would be visually dominant and unsympathetic to its surroundings and would therefore be contrary to Policies CS8 and DM10 of Kingston's Core Strategy and Policy DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
3. 3.The proposed development by reason of its location, scale and window positioning, together with its insufficient information regarding sunlight and daylight, would result in the loss of amenity to neighbouring properties at either side including increased overlooking and loss of privacy to the terrace at number 4A Surbiton Crescent contrary to policies D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM10 of Kingston's Core Strategy.
4. 4.The proposed development fails to provide adequate cycle parking and refuse details contrary to policies DM8, DM9 and DM10 of the Kingston Core Strategy.
5. 5.In the absence of a legal agreement to preclude future occupiers of the development from accessing any future CPZ permits, it has not been demonstrated that the development would not adversely impact on street parking stress or avoid an unacceptable adverse impact on highway safety, contrary to policies DM8, DM9 and DM10 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012).
