Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dwellinghouse by virtue of its roof form, siting and design would result in an and incongruous form of development that fails to complement the adjoining and neighbouring properties in the locality. Furthermore, the rear dormer roof extension, by reason of its design, size and mass would be an overly dominant addition and does not achieve subordination to the host building or positively respond to the characteristics of the host building. In these respects, the proposal would be contrary to the guidance set out in the adopted Lambeth Design Guide (2023) and the objectives Policies Q2, Q5, Q7, Q8, Q11 and Q14 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
  2. The proposed dwelling would provide a substandard quality of accommodation for future occupiers, by reason of unacceptable quantity of private amenity space. The proposals are thereby contrary to Policy H5 of the London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
  3. The proposed dwellinghouse by virtue of its scale, siting, layout, design, bulk and massing would have an adverse impact on residential amenity by being unacceptably overbearing and creating an undue sense of enclosure for the occupiers of No. 178 Central Hill. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020- 2035 (2021).
  4. In the absence of a Section 106 agreement containing obligations for the provision of Car Club membership, parking permit free within any future Controlled Parking Zone, and to provide the dwellings with Cycle Hire membership, the development would not promote more sustainable modes of travel, and the transport impacts of the development would not be mitigated against. This is contrary to Policies T1 and T3 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
