Why it was refused

  1. The submitted details do not provide a sufficiently complete or coordinated soft landscaping specification to enable the Local Planning Authority to be satisfied that condition 6 has been complied with and therefore does not demonstrate accordance with Policy Q9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).The submitted details relating to the Surface Water Management Strategy do not demonstrate sufficiently clear management arrangements and maintenance requirements to enable the Local Planning Authority to be satisfied that Condition 8 has been complied with.
  2. Insufficient details have been provided to demonstrate that the sustainability objectives of condition 11 have been complied with and to demonstrate compliance with Lambeth Local Plan (2021) Policy EN4 and the Mayor's Housing SPG.
  3. The details of the design fail to sufficiently accord with the objectives of Policies Q2, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021)) to enable the Local Planning Authority to be satisfied that Condition 12 has been complied with.
  4. The details provided in relation to condition 19 (Basement Impact Assessment) do not sufficiently address surface water management details to demonstrate compliance with the objectives of Policy Q27 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
