140 FORDEL ROAD, LONDON, SE6 1XR
The construction of a single storey, plus lower ground floor, two bedroom detached dwelling house, together with the provision of bin and cycle storage and all associated works at the rear of 140 Fordel Road SE6.
The proposed house, by reason of its siting in an established existing rear garden and its appearance, form, materials and detailed design, result in an insensitive and inappropriate addition that would appear as a cramped and contrived form of development within its plot resulting in a harmful visual impact to the street scene, contrary to paragraph Paragraphs 131 and 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024); Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021); Policies LCA1, QD1, QD6, QD8 and QD10 of the Lewisham Local Plan (2025), and the provisions of the adopted Small Sites SPD (2021).
The proposed development, by reason of being single-aspect, poor outlook, undersized internal storage and the absence of floor-to-ceiling height and passive ventilation details would fail to provide an acceptable standard of residential accommodation for future residents contrary to Policies D5 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policies LCA1, HO2.E, QD1, QD2, and QD8 of the Lewisham Local Plan (July 2025) and the provisions of the adopted Housing Design Standards LPG (2023).
