Scheme description

Alterations including erection of pergola to frontage with retractable roof and glazed elevations.

Why it was refused
Reason 1

By reason of its scale, design and location the proposed development represents an inappropriate and visually obtrusive addition that detracts from the appearance and character of the host building and the streetscene. Therefore, it contravenes the aims and objectives of policies LP1 and LP8 and Wandsworth Local Plan (2023). Director of Place: Paul Moore In dealing with this application the Council has implemented the requirement in the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner and the Council has, as far as practicable, sought solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the planning application. We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in the Local Plan as well as offering a full pre application advice service. However, we have been unable to seek solutions to problems as the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and negotiation could not overcome the reasons for refusal.
