Why it was refused

  1. The information provided fails to acceptably demonstrate that there is no demand for the existing office floorspace. The proposal is contrary to policy ED1 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021). London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ
  2. The proposed development fails to make the best use of land, optimise the capacity of the site and optimise housing delivery, contrary to Policy H1 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021), Policy H2 of the London Plan (2021) and paragraphs 129 and 130 of the NPPF.
  3. The proposed subdivision of room 6 would truncate the original room and harm its spatial characteristics. This would result in less than substantial harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building and would harm the character and appearance of the wider area, contrary to Policies Q5, Q11, Q20 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021). No heritage or public benefits are considered to outweigh the harm, nor is there sufficient evidence that it would secure its optimum viable use, contrary to Paragraph 215 of the NPPF (2024).
  4. In the absence of a s106 agreement to secure (i) Car permit free development; (ii) Car Club membership for a period of 3 years for the future residents; and (iii) Cycle parking membership for a period of 3 years for the future residents, the proposed development has the potential to unacceptably impact on on-street parking pressures and fails to promote sustainable means of transport, contrary to policies H6 and T6 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021 and T6 of the London Plan (2021).
