Scheme description

IMPORTANT: You are being notified again as the decision of the Council to grant permission has been quashed by the Courts following a legal challenge on grounds pertaining to an omission of the Council's Conservation Officer in the officers' report to Committee. The decision has to be taken again. T

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposed roof extensions, by reason of their form, design and appearance, would result in a detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the Wandle Valley Conservation Area. The public benefits of the proposed roof extensions, to provide 16 new residential units, are not considered to outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the significance of this designated heritage asset. Therefore, proposed development is contrary to Sections 12 and 16 of the NPPF 2021, Policies HC1, D3 and D4 of the London Plan 2022 and Policies DM D2, DM D3 and DM D4 of the Sites and Policies Plan 2014.
