Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension by reason of its design, height, and depth, would fail to respond to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding terrace, and would not constitute a subordinate addition to the host property. The proposal is therefore contrary to the guidance set out in the adopted Lambeth Design Guide (2023) and the objectives of Q5 and Q11 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (September 2021).
  2. The proposed extension, by reason of its excessive height and depth on the boundary, would be oppressive and result in an unacceptable sense of enclosure for occupiers of 15 Brough Close. As such the London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ proposal is contrary to the objectives of policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
