Erection of an additional floor to create a new dwelling.
The proposed additional floor due to its detailed design, scale, bulk and elevated position, would result in an incongruous, unsympathetic and overly dominant form of development which would adversely impact on the character and appearance of the site and the streetscene. The proposal would be contrary to Policies D1, D4 and D8 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy 28 of the Local Plan 2018 and Sutton's Urban Design Guide SPD 14.
Without evidence to the contrary, the development results in insufficient car parking provision, which would lead to additional on-street parking resulting in unacceptable harm to the safe and efficient working of the transport and highway network in the area and would be contrary to policy 36 and 37 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
Without evidence to the contrary, the application has failed to provide evidence that the proposal will provide a satisfactory reduction in carbon emissions, sustainable drainage measures and water efficiency measures. As such, the application would be contrary to Polices SI 2, SI 4, SI 5 and SI 12 of the London Plan 2016 and Policies 31, 32 and 33 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
