Why it was refused

  1. The proposed air source heat pump by reasons of its siting and scale in the front garden would result in an incongruous and prominent feature which fail to be discretely located nor integrated into the host building. The development would introduce an uncharacteristic addition at the front elevation which significantly harms the character and appearance and does not respond positively to the host building and the estate. The proposal would be contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q8 and Q11 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021 and the Lambeth Design Guide 2023. London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ

From the council's decision notice.
