108, Dalyell Road, SW9 9UP

1. 1.The proposed change of use from a self contained dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) to a large house in multiple occupation (sui generis) would result in the unjustified loss of a family sized dwelling. The proposal would also contribute to an overconcentration of HMOs in the area and an over intensive use of the building, harming the mix, balance and well being of the local community by reason of its configuration and the likely high level of occupancy resulting in an increased level of activity, noise and general disturbance. In addition, the development has failed to demonstrate an identified local need for a large HMO at this location. The proposal is therefore London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ contrary to Policies Q2, H3, H6 and H9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policies H1 and D14 of the London Plan (2021).
2. 2.The application does not include a legal mechanism to deliver planning obligations for securing: (i) the provision of car club membership to occupiers of the proposed dwelling; (ii) that the development is car parking permit free; and (iii) provision of cycle hire membership to occupiers of the proposed dwelling. The development would therefore not promote sustainable modes of travel, and the transport impacts of the development would not be mitigated. This is contrary to Policies T4, T5 and T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies D4, T3 and T6 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021).
