Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been received by the applicant to demonstrate how the removal of the internal walls complied with Approved Documents A and B of the Building Regulations (Building Structure and Fire Safety), and in turn, enable an assessment of the extent of harm caused by the development on the significance on the grade II listed building. In the absence of this information, Officers are unable to establish that the historic development complies with Policies Q5, Q11 and Q20 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
