1. 1.In the absence of a daylight and sunlight assessment, and without confirmation as to whether the affected first floor window serves a habitable room, it has not been demonstrated that acceptable levels of daylight would be retained at No 30. The proposal would result in an unacceptably overbearing and visually intrusive form of development, causing unacceptable harm to the residential amenity of No 30, contrary to policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021)
2. 2.The proposed extension, by reason of its height, depth and siting, would be located in close proximity to the first floor roof terrace and window serving No. 26, The reduced separation and scale of the development would result in an increased sense of enclosure, appear visually intrusive and lead to a loss of outlook when experienced from the terrace and window. Additionally without confirmation as to whether the affected window serves a London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ habitable room, it has not been demonstrated that acceptable levels of light would be retained. The extension is also likely to result in a loss of sunlight and daylight to the existing terrace at no 26. As such, the proposal would have an overbearing impact and cause unacceptable harm to the residential amenity of the occupiers of No.

From the council's decision notice.
