Why it was refused
- The applied glazing bars and visible trickle vent detailing to the front fenestration and the increase in height to the rear extension above the eaves results in a low level of less than substantial harm to the significance of the Elderwood Conservation Area and fails to retain, preserve, protect and safeguard the asset on the local heritage list, failing to accord with Policies Q5, Q7, Q11, Q22 and Q23 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021). This low level of less than substantial harm is not outweighed by public benefits and the development therefore fails to accord with Paragraphs 11(d) and 215 of the NPPF.
- The development fails to secure appropriate access for disabled people, older people and others with mobility constraints, failing to accord with policy D7 of the London Plan (2021), Q1 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021), the guidance in the London Plan Housing SPG (2012) and Paragraph 11(d) of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
