Why it was refused
- The proposed shopfront alterations would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, leading to less than substantial harm. The application lacks sufficient detail, including scaled drawings of the pre existing, existing and proposed shopfront, and does not clarify the status of historic features such as the timber fascia and cornice. No justification for the harm has been provided, nor are there any discernible public benefits to outweigh it. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies Q16, Q17 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and paragraph 215 of the NPPF (2024) London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ
- The proposed externally mounted roller shutter is contrary to Policy Q16 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021). The lack of detailed drawings prevents a full assessment of its integration within the shopfront design. As proposed, the shutter would result in visual harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area. No justification for the harm has been provided, nor are there any discernible public benefits to outweigh it. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies Q16, Q17 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and paragraph 215 of the NPPF (2024)
- The proposed extension includes a side-facing door within the side elevation that directly overlooks the side-facing window of No. 15. Although the window is partially screened by the existing boundary wall, the positioning and height of the door would result in a loss of privacy to the occupants of No. 15. This relationship is considered to be unneighbourly and would give rise to an unacceptable level of overlooking and perceived overlooking, contrary to Policy Q2 of the London Local Plan (2021).
