Why it was refused

  1. The proposed alterations would result in harm to the character and appearance of the host property and wider Clapham Conservation Area, due to the loss of the full-width front boundary treatment that are characteristic of the street and contribute positively to local distinctiveness and the character and appearance of the conservation area. The resultant fully-open driveway would appear incongruous with the wider pattern of development along the street. The application is therefore contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q8, Q9, Q14, Q15 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021).
  2. The proposed alterations to the front boundary treatments, including the formation of a vehicular access London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ would be unacceptable, given the small area of the front garden, with the resultant parking space failing to meet the minimum standard dimensions for off-street parking spaces. The resultant parking space would result in harm to pedestrian safety due to the potential of parked cars overhanging the footway. The proposal would also result in the loss of on-street parking due to the location of on-street parking bays to the front of the property. As a result, the proposal is considered to be contrary with the aims and objectives of Policies Q14, T2, T6 of the Local Plan and T4 of the London Plan.
