Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been submitted in respect of the proposed extraction method to assess the impact of the proposed change of use on residential amenity and the character and appearance of the building and the nearby conservation area. The method of extraction is fundamental to the acceptability of an E(b) Use Class unit in this location and therefore variation to the condition application is contrary Policy ED7, Q2, Q11 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
