Scheme description

FIRST FLOOR REAR EXTENSION, MANSARD ROOF EXTENSION AND CONVERSION OF SINGLE DWELLINGHOUES INTO 3 X SELF-CONTAINED FLATS

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposed development, by reasons of its scale, height, design and form, is considered to detract from the character of the existing dwelling, street scene and wider character of the area. It would therefore be contrary to Policy CS 14 of the Council's adopted Core Planning Strategy 2011 and Policies DM D2 and DM D3 of the Council's adopted Site and Policies Plan 2014.

Reason 2

The proposed development, due to its height and rear projection, would result in a loss of light, loss of outlook, be overbearing and cause overlooking to the amenity of neighbouring properties; notably No. 7 Bridges Road Mews and the Flats at 264a the Broadway. It would therefore be contrary to Policy DM D2 of the Adopted Sites and Policies Plan (2014).

Reason 3

The proposed development would generate additional pressure on parking in the area, and in the absence of a legal agreement securing a car free agreement, the proposal would be contrary to Policies DM T1 (support for sustainable transport and active travel) and DM T3 (Car parking and servicing standards) of Merton's Adopted Sites and Policies Plan (July 2014), Policy CS20 (Parking, servicing and delivery) of Merton's Adopted Core Planning Strategy (July 2011) and Policies T6 (Car Parking) and T6.1 (Residential Parking) of the London Plan (2021).
