Why it was refused
- The integrated digital advertising screen and BT street hub, would introduce an incongruous form of development, one which is not characteristic of the historic high street. It would be in a highly visible, and sensitive location, dominating the locality and detracting from the historic townscape whilst also adding unacceptable street/visual clutter. Combined, the BT Street Hub with integrated digital advertising screen and emergency functionality, would be a visually intrusive form of development, one which would result in a low level of less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Clapham High Street Conservation Area and would be a visually distracting form of development within the setting of the statutory locally listed building and the locally listed halls. As a result, the scheme is considered to be contrary with the aims and objectives of T9, Q2, Q5, Q6, Q17, Q20, Q22 and Q23 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
- The integrated digital advertising screens and BT street hub, would introduce additional paraphernalia and street clutter, which would pose a threat to the functioning of the pavement and the safety of pedestrians using this part of Clapham High Street. Furthermore, by virtue of the hub's design, any members of the public using the facilities will occupy the pavement area, further reducing the amount of pavement space available, resulting in additional, unacceptable obstruction to safe and comfortable pedestrian movement. As a result, the scheme is considered to be contrary with the aims and objectives of Policies Q17, T1, T2, T3, T4 and T9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and T4 of the London Plan (2021).
- The integrated digital advertising screens and BT street hub, by reason of its inappropriate siting and design, would fail to reduce opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour to the detriment of community safety and security, and those using the Page 11 of 11 hub and its functions. As a result, the scheme is considered contrary to the aims and objectives of policy Q3 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
From the council's decision notice.
