Why it was refused

  1. The proposed replacement windows, by reason of inaccurate and inconsistent detailing, including the use London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ of applied glazing bars, the inclusion of horns where none exist on the original windows, and unresolved discrepancies across the submitted drawings, fail to accurately replicate the existing historic windows in terms of design, proportions and authenticity. As a result, the proposal would introduce heavy and inauthentic detailing that would harm the character and appearance of the host building, its uniform pair and the wider conservation area. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies Q5, Q11, and Q22 of the Local Plan (2021) and paragraph 215 of the NPPF. No public benefits have been identified to outweigh the harm to the designated heritage asset.

From the council's decision notice.
