Why it was refused
- The proposed removal of the chimney stack would result in the loss of an original and visually prominent roofscape feature that contributes positively to the character and appearance of the conservation area and to the architectural and townscape value of the locally listed building. The proposal would therefore result in harm to the character and appearance of the locally listed building, as well as less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Clapham Road Conservation Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q22 and Q23 of the Lambeth Local Plan and the intent of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
