The proposed development would result in sub-standard residential accommodation by virtue of undersized bedrooms and overall unit size for a two bedroom flat, which is contrary to Saved Policy 4.2 'Quality of residential accommodation' of the Southwark Plan 2007 and to Residential Design Standards (2015 Technical Update) Supplementary Planning Document. 1

The application lacks detail on the impact of introducing new partitions and sub-dividing the principle room on the listed building. The supporting Design and Access and Heritage Statements lack assessment by the applicant on the significance of any heritage asset affected. Therefore the level of detail provided in the supporting documentation is not proportionate to the assets' importance and does not allow for a sufficient understanding of the potential impact on the significance of the building, as required by paragraph 189, 192 and 196 of the NPPF 2019. The proposal therefore is not in accordance with: NPPF (2019) Section 16 Conserving and enhancing the historic environment, the London Plan (2021) Policy HC1 Heritage conservation and growth, Strategic Policy 12 Design and Conservation of the Core Strategy (2011) and Saved Policies 3.15 Conservation of the Historic Environment and 3.17 Listed Buildings of the Southwark Plan (2007).
