Why it was refused

In the absence of the applicant's agreement to pay for the review of the submitted technical assessment and supporting information to confirm that all asbestos containing materials have been removed, the council is unable to determine whether the irreversible risks associated with the contaminants which were present were properly treated and made safe in order to safeguard the future users or occupiers of this site and the wider environment. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy SI7 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy EN4 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
