Why it was refused
- The proposed enclosed trellis including solar panels by virtue of its design, materiality, siting, scale and form would result in an overly dominant and incongruous addition that appears visually jarring and fails to achieve subordination. Furthermore, the development would be out of keeping with the character and appearance of the host building, its pair nos. 29 and 30 Trouville Road and the wider terrace which unacceptably harms the local London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ distinctiveness of the locality. The proposals are thereby contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q8 and Q11 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021 and the Lambeth Design Guide 2023.
- The proposed enclosed trellis including solar panels by virtue of its siting, design and scale would give rise to a loss of amenity to neighbouring occupiers at 29 and 30 Trouville Road in terms of outlook, dominance, sense of enclosure and light. The proposals are thereby contrary to policies Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
- The proposed enclosed trellis by virtue of its elevated siting, design and nature would be detrimental to neighbouring amenities in terms of noise and disturbance and the potential for overlooking. The proposals are thereby contrary to policies Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and D14 of the London Plan.
