Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use would result in the loss of a single family dwellinghouse and would result in an over concentration of the type of housing proposed contrary to the objectives of policy H9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
  2. The proposed accommodation would fail to meet the required standards for Houses in Multiple Occupation by reason of failing to show 2 sets of cooking facilities, as such the proposal is contrary to the objectives of policy H9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ
  3. In the absence of a S106 agreement, the application fails to mitigate the impacts of the proposed development, as such, the proposal is contrary to the objectives of policy D4 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
