Scheme description

Construction of a wrapraound extension, rear roof extension, insertion of rooflights in the front and rear rooflopes, creation of new front lightwell, installation of replacement windows on the side elevation with new window openings on the front and side elevation, landscaping of the front garden to include construction of a front boundary wall, railing with a gate, a new bin store and all other associated works at 68 Pepys Road, SE13.

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposed roof extension, lightwell with centrally positioned door, rooflights and front boundary treatment, together with insufficient details of the design of the bin store, by reason of their excessive scale, bulk, position and incongruous design disrupting the host building’s roof form and symmetry and introducing visually prominent and uncharacteristic features, would have an unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area and as such is contrary to the provisions of Chapter 16 of the NPPF, Policies HC1 and D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies QD1, QD9, HE1 and HE2 of the Lewisham Local Plan (2025) and the the provisions of the Alterations and Extensions SPD (2019).
