The proposed 1bedroom flats and the duplex 2bedroom flats lack in-built storage and the areas of the in- built storage within Flats: 2,4, 6 and 8 fall below the minimum floorspace housing standards required for new Lambeth Planning Telephone 020 7926 1180 PO Box 80771 www.lambeth.gov.uk London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ REFULZ dwellings. In these respects, the proposal is contrary to the provisions, aims and objectives of Policy H5 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021).

In the absence of a noise impact assessment report, the proposal has failed to demonstrate that the noise levels likely to be generated from the proposed air source heat pumps would not have an adverse impact on the amenities of future occupiers of the new dwellings and existing residents in neighbouring properties in terms of noise and general disturbance As such the proposal is contrary to Policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy D14 of the London Plan (2021).

The proposed four-storey building by reason of its scale, mass and layout would result in the overdevelopment of this constrained site. This evidenced by the front building line of the building, which would leave limited defence space in relation to the adjacent highway and the overbearing sense of enclosure on Moat Place that would detract from the surrounding townscape. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q6 and Q7 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and the Lambeth Design Guide (2023).

Due to the siting, layout and scale of the proposed four-storey building in close proximity to adjacent land, particularly No. 113-115 Stockwell Road, the proposed development would have the potential to prejudice the future redevelopment of these sites contrary to Policy Q7 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).

In the absence of accurate and detailed plans that show the location and size of the proposed air source heat pumps, the local planning authority has not been able to assess impact of this aspect of the development on the appearance of the proposed building and its context as required under Policies Q2, Q5, Q6 and Q7 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and the Lambeth Design Guide (2023).

The proposed four-storey building by reason of its scale, massing and siting would have an adverse impact on residential amenity of the occupiers of Nos.113-115 Stockwell Road, particularly the residential unit located at second-floor level, by reason of an overbearing sense of enclosure created by the development. In addition, insufficient information was provided within the supporting Daylight and Sunlight report regarding the levels of daylight and sunlight received at this neighbouring property with the new building in situ. As such the proposed development would be contrary to Policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policies D13 and D14 of the London Plan (2021).

In the absence of an archaeological desk-based assessment, the proposal has failed to provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the scheme has taken into consideration unidentified heritage assets of archaeological interest under the ground. In this respect the proposal is contrary to Policy Q23 of the Lambeth Local Plan, Policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2023).

In the absence of a Fire Statement the proposal has failed to demonstrate that the internal layout of the development would minimise the risk of injury and spread of fire as required under the provisions of Policy D12 of the London Plan (2021).

In the absence of the applicant's agreement to pay for the requisite technical assessment of the submitted supporting statements on sustainability and the energy, the local planning authority has been unable to determine whether the development has achieved the target of be lean, be green, be clean and be seen in accordance with Policy EN4 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policies SI 2, SI 3 and SI 4 of the London Plan (2021).

In the absence of an arboricultural impact assessment, it has not been demonstrated that the layout and scale of the development would not have an adverse impact on the future growth of the retained trees and the visual amenity of the public realm. In addition, it has not been demonstrated that measures to protect retained trees on adjacent land during construction would be put in place nor that adequate and appropriate planting has been considered during the scheme design. In these respects, the proposal has failed to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of Policies EN1, Q2, Q9 and Q10 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy G7 of the London Plan (2021).

In the absence of detailed plans of the provision for cycle parking, it has not been demonstrated that the total number of long and short stay cycle spaces would be accommodated within the proposed cycle store and conveniently located in a safe and covered place for the future occupiers of the development and visitors. As such the proposal has failed to demonstrate compliance with Policies Q13 and T3 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021) and Policy T5 of the London Plan (2021) and the London Cycle Design Standards (2015).

In the absence of a Unilateral Undertaking or other legal agreement securing appropriate mitigation by restricting future occupiers of the development from obtaining parking permits within the Controlled Parking Zone, providing car club membership and cycle hire scheme, the proposed development would likely exacerbate existing parking stress and congestion on the surrounding highway network. The application is therefore contrary to Policies D4, T1 and T7 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021) and Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021).
