496 - 498 Brixton Road London SW9 8EQ

1. 1.In the absence of separate existing and proposed front elevation plans of the shopfront officers are not able to full assess this aspect of the development to determine that the replacement shopfront would reinstate lost features and respect the scale, style and building forms in order to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the host building and the wider Brixton Conservation Area. The proposal is thereby contrary to Policies ED7, Q5, Q8, Q11, Q16 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021 and the Lambeth Design Guide 2023.
2. 2.Insufficient and inadequate information has been provided within the submitted Noise Impact assessment London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ pertaining to actual measurements to verify that the use of the plant equipment would not have an adverse impact on amenities in terms of vibration, noise and disturbance for occupies of the adjoining property and the host building. In addition, the design of a horizontal extract would have a harmful impact on amenities in close proximity to adjoining property of no. 10 Bernays Grove and residential units at nos. 496-498 Brixton Road. Furthermore, in the absence of an odour risk assessment associated with the proposed extraction system, it has not been demonstrated that mitigation measures would be in place to manage the pollution, fumes and odour to protect residents. The proposal is thereby contrary to Policies ED8 and Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021 and Policies D13 and D14 of the London Plan 2021.

From the council's decision notice.
