Why it was refused
- The proposed rear extension, by virtue of its positioning, scale, and detailed design, would appear as an incongruous addition that fails to respond positively to the established character and quality of the local context. Consequently, it does not respect or complement the original architecture, fenestration, and roof form of the host property or the wider terrace, resulting in harm to visual amenity. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q8, and Q11 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021) and the guidance set out in the Lambeth Design Guide Part 4 (2023).
