Planning Decision

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed temporary change of use would result in an intensification of activity at the site. In the absence of sufficient information on the operation and management of the use, it has not been demonstrated that the proposal would not give rise to unacceptable noise and disturbance, to the detriment of the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM10 of the LDF Core Strategy (2012).
  2. In the absence of sufficient information on trip generation, parking provision and drop-off arrangements, it has not been demonstrated that the proposal would not result in additional parking pressure or harm to highway safety and the free flow of traffic. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM9 of the LDF Core Strategy (2012).
