About this application

This is a planning application for a dormer extension at 111 Rodenhurst Road London SW4 8AF. Lambeth has handled 15,924 applications of this type. This one was decided in 55 days. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 1 application across Purley And Woodcote. We hold 2,293 applications in total for the SW4 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed second floor extension above the rear outrigger and enlarged rear dormer, by reason of their design, scale and combined bulk and massing, would constitute overly dominant and incongruous additions that would not appear subordinate to the host building. Together, the additions would introduce an awkward junction London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ between both elements, excessive bulk to the rear roofscape and detract from the architectural composition of the dwelling and the character of the immediate rear building group. The proposal would therefore fail to respond positively to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, contrary to Policies Q5, Q8 and Q11 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and the guidance contained within the Lambeth Design Guide SPD (2023).

From the council's decision notice.
