Why it was refused

  1. In the absence of a sequential test, the location of visitor accommodation outside of a town centre would fail to comply with policies E10 of the London Plan and policy ED14 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
  2. The change of use proposed to short term let would result in the part loss of an existing residential use contrary to the objectives of policies H3, H5 and Q2 of the Local Plan (2021).
  3. The proposed development would result in a unit of accommodation capable of being occupied as a self London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ contained residential unit. The accommodation fails to provide an acceptable standard of accommodation by virtue of size, outlook, privacy, access and insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate the levels of natural light within the unit. The development is contrary to London Plan policy D6 and policies H5 and Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
  4. Due to the intensification of the use of the site, the proposal would result in overlooking to the frontage property of 22 Bloomhall Road and occupiers of the neighbouring residential properties. This is contrary to Policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
  5. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed short term let accommodation would not lead to a detrimental impact on neighbouring properties in terms of noise and disturbance, contrary to policies Q2 and ED14 of the Local Plan (2021).
