Scheme description

The demolition of the former Marvels Lane Boys Club, Balder Rise SE12 and dwelling-house at 41 Le May Avenue SE12, and the construction of 3, three-storey and 2, two-storey blocks comprising 28 self-contained residential flats accessed from Le May Avenue, in addition to associated landscaping including a central courtyard, refuse and recycling facilities, disabled parking bays and cycle stores.

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposed development, by reason of close proximity to the northern site boundary, would result in significant visual impact upon neighbouring occupiers in Balder Rise by way of overbearing harm and overlooking, contrary to Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019); Policy 15 of the adopted Core Strategy (June 2011), and DM Policies 30, 32 and 33 of the Development Management Local Plan (November 2014).

Reason 2

Insufficient supporting information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed application, by reason of the lack of onsite affordable housing, would not be capable of providing any onsite affordable housing or that sufficient offsite contribution would be provided to mitigate the lack of onsite affordable housing, contrary to policies H4 and H5 of the London Plan (2021); Core Strategy Policy 1 of the Core Strategy (2011), and DM Policy 7 of the Development Management Local Plan (2014).
