Why it was refused

  1. The proposed shroud advertisement, by reason of its prominent location, scale and high-level, would introduce an incongruous and overly dominant feature to the Vauxhall Conservation Area, which would obscure and distract views along Kennington Lane. The proposed advertisement would fail to integrate with the context of the host building or the area's local context. The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the Vauxhall Conservation Area, and no benefits have been identified to outweigh the harm caused. The proposal would be contrary to Policies Q2, Q17 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021), Policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021), the NPPF (2024) and would thereby cause harm to visual amenity, contrary to Paragraph 3 (2) (a) of the Regulations (Control of Advertisement).

From the council's decision notice.
