Why it was refused
- The proposed illuminated advertisement, located on Clapham Road within the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) and adjacent to a 24 hour bus lane and the CS7 cycle route, would introduce a visually prominent display likely to distract drivers and cyclists, resulting in harm to highway safety and the operation of this strategic route. The structure would also add unnecessary street furniture that would narrow the footway and impede pedestrian movement, with particular adverse effects on visually impaired users. In addition, there is no lawful means to install or maintain the structure without breaching the operation of the bus lane, raising concerns about deliverability. The proposal therefore conflicts with London Plan Policies T2, T4,and D8, and the objectives of the Mayor's Vision Zero strategy, and T9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021)
- The proposed BT Street Hub, by reason of its scale, siting and design, would introduce additional visual and physical clutter to a section of Clapham Road that already contains several items of street furniture. The cumulative impact of the proposed structure would result in a more visually congested streetscene. The proposed development would result in harm to the setting of statutory listed buildings and harm the character and appearance of Stockwell Park Conservation area and South Lambeth road Conservation Area. The proposed development is contrary to the objectives of Policies Q5, Q6 (including criterion viii), Q17, Q20 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021)
From the council's decision notice.
