43 Netherford Road London Lambeth SW4 6AF

1. 1.The proposed front garden parking space, height of the proposed front boundary fencing and gates, areas of hard landscaping across the site, and associated formation of a vehicular crossover would introduce a vehicle- dominated frontage that would detract from the garden setting of the listed building and the character and London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ appearance of the wider conservation area, with the provision on on-site car parking within the front garden adding a feature that is not characteristic of Netherford Road or the wider conservation area. The proposal therefore results in less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II Listed Building and the character and appearance of the Wandsworth Road Conservation Area, which would not be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies Q14, Q20 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
2. 2.The proposal, which includes the provision of an additional on-site car parking space within the front garden area, has not demonstrated circumstances that would justify on-site car parking, as it is not provided for Blue Badge holders, it would result in the unacceptable loss of two on-street car parking spaces within a CPZ, and it would result in more than one crossover at the property, contrary to Local Plan Policy Q14. The proposal would also exceed the maximum parking standards set out in the Local Plan Policy T6 and London Plan Policy T6. In addition, no evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposal would not result in an unacceptable increase in parking stress in the locality, due to the loss of two on-street car parking spaces, or that appropriate pedestrian visibility splays would be provided. The proposal would therefore result in harm to pedestrian and vehicular safety, increased parking stress in the locality, and exceeds the maximum car-parking standards. The proposal is therefore contrary to Local Plan Policies Q14, T6 and London Plan Policy T6.
