Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that delivery rider activity associated with the proposed extended opening hours can be accommodated without causing obstruction, congestion and disturbance on the adjoining public highway. Given the constrained footway environment, nearby bus stop and anticipated delivery activity, the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the proposal would avoid adverse impacts on pedestrian movement, accessibility and highway safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies P50 (Highways impacts), P51 (Walking) and P56 (Protection of amenity) of the Southwark Plan 2022 and Policy T4 (Assessing and mitigating transport impacts) of the London Plan 2021 and NPPF 2026. southwark.gov.uk 2 Southwark Council, PO Box 64529, DECISION NOTICE LBS Registered Number: 26/AP/1110
