Why it was refused

  1. By reason of the design, bulk and siting of the proposed box fascia signs, and by reason of the design and dimensions of the proposed projecting sign, the proposal would fail to respond positively to the unique historic context of the application site, which is a positive contributor to the Brixton Conservation Area. The proposal would fail to provide signage which accords with the stipulations of Policy Q17 of the Lambeth Local Plan with regards to projecting signage dimensions. The proposal would therefore cause less than substantial harm to the Brixton Conservation Area and would fail to comply with Policies Q5, Q6, Q17 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021), the NPPF (2024), the Lambeth Advertising and Signage Guidance (2016) and Paragraph 3 (2) (a) of the Advertisement Regulations.

From the council's decision notice.
