College Green Court, 55 Barrington Road, London, Lambeth, SW9 7JG

1. 1.In the absence of any evidence to contradict Officers' assessments, the proposal would fail to provide an London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ adequate standard of accommodation for prospective occupiers by reason of there being insufficient daylight and sunlight within the habitable rooms, insufficient outlook, insufficient external amenity space, inadequate ceiling heights, and potential adverse noise impacts for occupiers. The proposal would fail to comply with Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies Q2, Q14 and H5 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
2. 2.The proposal would cause a low degree of less than substantial harm to the Loughborough Park Conservation Area and the setting of the locally listed building, College Green Court, due to the proposed unsympathetic use of artificial slate and render. The harm has not been justified. The proposal would fail to comply with Policy Q5, Q7, Q8, Q22 and Q23 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
3. 3.The proposal would provide two carparking spaces and would likely lead to parking stress due to the proposed loss of six residents' spaces, contrary to Policy T6.1 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy T6 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
4. 4.In the absence of any swept path analyses to demonstrate otherwise, the site would provide inadequate access for emergency vehicles, particularly fire engines, contrary to Policies Q14 and Q3 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy D12 of the London Plan (2021).
5. 5.The proposed refuse stores would be positioned 80m from the collection point, which would be an unacceptable distance and an overly onerous task for prospective occupiers, contrary to the Lambeth Refuse & Recycling Storage Design Guide (2022) and Policy Q12 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
6. 6.In the absence of an arboricultural survey, arboricultural impact assessment, tree constraints plan, tree protection plan and arboricultural method statement, by reason of the likely harm that would be caused to the London plane tree to the rear of nos. 69 and 71 Millbrook Road which adjoins the site boundary and which has high amenity value and is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, the proposal would fail to comply with Policies Q10, Q14 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
7. 7.In the absence of the correctly completed documentation with regards to Biodiversity Net Gain, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would achieve a minimum of 10% Biodiversity Net Gain. The proposed development would fail to comply with the aims and objectives of Policy G6 of the London Plan (2021), Policy EN1 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021), and paragraphs 192-195 of the NPPF (2024).
8. 8.In the absence of a completed planning obligation under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), the Local Planning Authority is unable to secure the site as car parking permit free, nor is it able to secure the proposed units with cycle hire and car share schemes. These obligations are necessary to mitigate the transport impacts of the development. As such, the proposal would result in an unacceptable form of development that is not adequately mitigated and is therefore contrary to Policies T3 and T6 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
