This one was decided in 61 days, 5 days longer than Lambeth's typical decision time. The site is in 1 listed building nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 114 applications across Waterloo & South Bank. We hold 2,756 applications in total for the SE1 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed illuminated advertisement, by reason of its location on the first-floor bay window, would harm the host building, the visual character of the area, and the commercial shopping parade within the Kennington Road Local Centre of which the unit forms a part. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies Q2 and Q17 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and guidance set out in Lambeth's Advertisements and Signage Guidance (2026).
From the council's decision notice.
