About this application

This is a planning application for a new dwelling at 13-24 Jengar Close Sutton SM1 4DX. Sutton has handled 3,881 applications of this type. This one was decided in 54 days. The site is in a conservation area. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 845 applications in total for the SM1 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of the increased bulk and massing, would result in an imposing and dominant development which would fail to enhance the character and appearance of the existing buildings and surrounding area. The proposed buildings would significantly exceed the prevailing heights of existing buildings within the vicinity and create an incongruous form of development that fails to adequately reflect its location. The proposed development would therefore result in harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area contrary to Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan and Policy 28 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
  2. The proposed development by reason of the absence of a completed S106 legal agreement to secure the prohibition of the future occupiers from obtaining residents or visitor car parking permits at this location, would result in overspill car parking to the detriment of the safe and efficient operation of the public highway and would be contrary to sub-paragraph A.2(1)(a) of schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) and Policy 37 of the Sutton Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
