In the absence of details having been provided in terms of the scale, detailing and finish of the proposed single storey extension with no cross-sections shown through the site, an informed decision cannot be reached that the proposed development would not have an acceptable impact on the character and appearance of the existing building and surrounding area, and the significance of the Rush Common and Brixton Hill Conservation Area. The proposed development would, therefore, be contrary to Policies Q5, Q8, Q11 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021). Lambeth Planning Telephone 020 7926 1180 PO Box 80771 www.lambeth.gov.uk London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ REFULZ

By reason of the incongruous form of development as a result of the proposed first floor pitched roof structure and balusters, which would be an uncharacteristic addition to the terrace, the proposed development would materially detract from the character and appearance of the existing building and surrounding area and would result in a low degree of less than substantial harm to the significance of the Rush Common and Brixton Hill Conservation Area. This identified harm would not be outweighed by any public benefits. Accordingly, the proposed development would conflict with Policies Q5, Q8, Q11 and Q22 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021) and the NPPF (2023).

The noise and disturbance associated with the use of the proposed first floor pitched roof structure to the front of the premises, which would facilitate sitting, standing and gathering and provide views looking back towards the upper floor windows within the site and to neighbouring properties would unacceptably harm the conditions of occupiers of these neighbouring properties. Accordingly, the proposed development would conflict with Policies Q2 and ED8 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021).
