320 Crystal Palace Road London Southwark SE22
Conversion of building from 2 existing flats to 4 flats (Use Class C3), following construction of extensions granted under planning permission 23/AP/1659.
In the absence of a Financial Viability Assessment, it has not been demonstrated that the proposed development is unable to viably provide the maximum amount for affordable housing contribution. The application fails to comply with policy P1[Social rented and intermediate housing] of the Southwark Plan (2022) and policies H2 [Small sites] and H4 [Delivering affordable housing] of The London Plan (2022) and Chapter 5 [Delivering a sufficient supply of homes] of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021).
The proposed units are undersized, resulting in a poor quality of accomodation. This would be contrary to Policy D6 (Housing quality and standards of the London Plan) 2021, Policy P15 (Residential design) of the Southwark Plan 2022 and the 2015 Technical Update to the Residential Design Standards SPD 2011.
