Change of use from dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) to a 9-person HMO (sui generis) and associated works.
The proposed change of use of the existing dwelling to a nine-person HMO fails to demonstrate that the proposal would meet an identified local need. The application additionally fails to demonstrate compliance with the requirement for a financial contribution towards affordable housing in respect of a large HMO intended as general needs housing for single people. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies H4 and H8 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies H2, H3 and H9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
In the absence of details demonstrating that adequate waste and recycling storage can be provided on-site Lambeth Planning Telephone 020 7926 1180 PO Box 80771 www.lambeth.gov.uk London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ REFULZ in a safe and accessible location that does not cause harm to amenity, the proposed development fails to demonstrate compliance with the Council's waste storage requirements. As such, it would be contrary to Policies Q2, Q5 and Q12 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
The application does not include a legal mechanism to deliver planning obligations for securing: (i) the use to be parking permit free; and (ii) a contribution to a hangar to provide on-street cycle parking. The development would therefore not promote sustainable modes of travel, and the transport impacts of the development would not be mitigated. This is contrary to Policies T4, T5 and T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies D4, T3 and T6 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021).
