Why it was refused

  1. The proposed Street Hub 3 unit, due to its increased size and footprint, would reduce the footway width to approximately 2.2 metres within an already constrained and high-footfall location. This would create pedestrian pinch points and hinder safe and inclusive pedestrian movement, particularly for users with mobility impairments. London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ The proposal therefore does not accord with the inclusive design principles of London Plan Policy D3. In addition, the siting and scale of the unit would obstruct access to the adjacent communal refuse bin, impeding waste collection operations and contributing to further footway congestion. The development would therefore result in an unacceptable impact on pedestrian safety, accessibility and the efficient operation of the highway, contrary to London Plan Policy T2, London Plan Policy D3, and the objectives of TfL's Streetscape Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
