About this application

This is a planning application for a dormer extension at 67A Westow Hill London Lambeth SE19 1TS. Lambeth has handled 15,936 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. The site is in the Westow Hill conservation area. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 1,190 applications in total for the SE19 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use would result in the loss of a single family dwellinghouse and would result in an over concentration of the type of housing proposed contrary to the objectives of policy H9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
  2. In the absence of a S106 agreement, the application fails to mitigate the impacts of the proposed London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ development, as such, the proposal is contrary to the objectives of policy D4 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
