Why it was refused

The submitted Construction Traffic Management Plan date 30.10.2025, fails to ensure there would be no adverse impact on the local highway network, due to the proposed delivery times which would include peak times in the morning. The submission is therefore unacceptable, and fails to satisfy the requirements of condition 3, and is contrary to Policies T6 and T8 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
The submitted information, due to the inadequate, inconsistent and insufficient information contained within the submission, fails to ensure the retention of, and avoid damage to, the retained trees on the site, in the interest of the visual amenity to the site and locality. The submission is therefore unacceptable and fails to satisfy the requirements of conditions: conditions 8 (Tree Protection plan), 9 (Arboricultural Method statement), 10 (Retention of trees), 11 (Soft landscaping and Tree planting) and 13 (Schedule/details of the materials to hard standing/paving) and is contrary to Policies EN1, EN6, Q2, Q5, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q10, Q11, Q14 and Q20 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy G7 of the London Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
