Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in an unacceptable standard of accommodation for future occupiers, due to the location of the new dwelling at roof level and its proximity to two extraction systems, in the absence of any noise, vibration and odour assessment. In addition, due to the low-level front-facing windows, the proposal would fail to provide acceptable outlook from front-facing habitable room windows. The proposal would London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ therefore result in harm to the living conditions of future occupiers and be contrary to Policies H5 and H6 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021 and Policies D6, D13 and D14 of the London Plan 2021.
  2. The proposed mansard roof extension by reason of its design, excessive scale and mass would result in a bulky and overly dominant addition that would be incongruous to the host property and wider terrace, failing to appear clearly subordinate. The proposal therefore fails to respond positively to the architecture of the host property, with the added mass to the front roof pitch resulting in an overly prominent addition in terms of scale and form. The proposal would therefore result in harm to the character and appearance of the host property and wider area and be contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q8 and Q11 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021 and Lambeth Design Guide 2023.
  3. The application does not include a legal mechanism to deliver planning obligations for securing: (i) the provision of car club membership to occupiers of the proposed dwelling; (ii) that the development is car parking permit free; and (iii) provision of cycle hire membership to occupiers of the proposed dwelling. The development would therefore not promote sustainable modes of travel, and the transport impacts of the development would not be mitigated. This is contrary to Policies T4, T5 and T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies D4, T3 and T6 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
