Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- The development, by reason of its excessive height, bulk, raised platform and proximity to the site boundaries, results in an unduly dominant and visually intrusive structure that harms the visual amenity of the site and wider area, including the visual amenity of neighbouring occupiers. The pergola fails to appear subordinate to the garden setting and fails to preserve the character and appearance of the site and wider area and is contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q11 and Q14 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
From the council's decision notice.
