Scheme description

Construction of a two-storey side extension, single storey rear extensions, first floor rear extension and construction of a front porch at 170 Marvels Lane, SE12.

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The cumulative impact of the two-storey side extension, single-storey and first-floor rear extensions, and roof enlargements would result in an overly bulky and visually dominant form of development that fails to remain subordinate to the host dwelling. The scheme would erode the important gap between properties, disrupt the established building line, and form an incongruous, poorly proportioned addition that harms the character and appearance of the streetscene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Paragraphs 131 and 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies QD7 and QD9 of the Lewisham Local Plan (2025), the Alterations and Extensions SPD (2019), and the Crofton Park and Honor Oak Neighbourhood Plan (2022).
