Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in the loss of the historic floor plan, historic architrave and door, detrimentally impacting the spatial character of the rooms, and result in less than substantial harm. In the absence of any established 'public benefit' the proposed is considered contrary to Policy Q20 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
  2. The proposed kitchen vent would involve the introduction of a new kitchen vent of a wall untouched by equipment such as vents, detrimentally altering the positive untouched elevation, result in less than substantial harm. In the absence of any established 'public benefit' the proposed is considered contrary to Policy Q5, Q11 and Q20 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
