Scheme description
Prior Approval under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) for the Change of use from Class E (shop) to C3 (residential), together with the provision of cycle and bin stores at 5 Kent House Road SE26.
Why it was refused
Reason 1
The proposed development, by reason of the proposed internal location for cycle parking, is considered dangerous and poorly accessible and would fail to encourage active and sustainable modes of transport, contrary to Policies T2, T4 and T5 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy 14 of the Core Strategy (June 2011) and Chapter 8 of the London Plan Cycling Design Standards (Sept 2016).
