STREET HUB AND ADVERTISEMENT DISPLAY ADJACENT 32 Coombe Lane, Raynes Park, Merton
REMOVAL OF EXISTING BT PHONE BOX AND INSTALLATION OF A PROPOSED REPLACEMENT BT STREET HUB AND ASSOCIATED DISPLAY OF ADVERTISEMENT TO BOTH SIDES OF THE UNIT.
The proposed BT Street Hub by reason of its design and location is considered to lead to the introduction of unnecessary and excessive street advertisement furniture that fails to complement the use and function of the space and leads to visual clutter and excessive levels of street advertisement to the detriment of the visual amenity of the local area, contrary to London Plan 2021 policy D8 and Merton Sites and Policies Plan 2014 policy DM D5.
The applicant has failed to demonstrate the proposed BT Street Hub would not have a detrimental impact to highways and pedestrian safety and vehicular movement along Lambton Road, Raynes Park. This would be contrary to London Plan 2021 Policy T6, Core Planning Strategy Policy CS18 and CS20, and Policies DMD2 and DMT2 of the Sites and Policies Plan 2014.
