Why it was refused
- The proposed conversion of bedsit room 1 and 2 into a partly self-contained unit, by reason of inadequate floor area, would fail to deliver a high standard of residential accommodation. The proposal would therefore fail to meet the requirements of Policies H5 and Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2023) and Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021). London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ
From the council's decision notice.
