Why it was refused

  1. The proposal seeks to regularise an existing low-level discharge system for a kitchen with a high odour control requirement. The applicant has not provided a robust technical assessment demonstrating the effectiveness of any potential odour abatement measures, and has not sufficiently justified the need for low-level discharge. As such, the proposal would risk resulting in loss of amenity to neighbouring occupiers from odour, in non- compliance with Policy P3 (Living conditions and pollution) of the NPPF (2026), Policy P56 (Protection of Amenity) of the Southwark Plan (2022), the council's Climate and Environment SPD (2025), and the council's Technical Guidance Note for Environmental Amenity (2017). southwark.gov.uk 2 Southwark Council, PO Box 64529, DECISION NOTICE LBS Registered Number: 26/AP/0362

From the council's decision notice.
