Why it was refused

Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that a rating of 'Excellent' can be achieved unless it is demonstrated that it is not technically feasible or viable to do so, in which case the development should demonstrate a 'Very Good' rating with a minimum score of 63 per cent, as required by the condition. The proposal is thereby contrary to Policy EN4 of the London Borough of Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
