Scheme description

Erection of a mansard roof to Nos. 55, 57 and 59 Moreton Street to create 3 x 1 bedroom flats (site includes Nos. 57 and 59).

Why it was refused
Reason 1

Because of the detailed design and use of materials the proposed mansard extension would harm the appearance of these buildings and fail to maintain or improve (preserve or enhance) the character and appearance of the Pimlico Conservation Area. This would not meet Policies 42, 44 and 45 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (January 2026). (X16AD)

Reason 2

The development fails to provide 20% of the floorspace as affordable housing or a payment in lieu to the Council's Affordable Housing Fund contrary to Policy 13 (F) of the City Plan 2019-2040 (January 2026) and our Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing SPD (February 2026) which seek to maximise the provision of affordable homes in Westminster.

Reason 3

The proposed mansard roof would make the people living in Nos. 20 to 28 Lupus Street feel too shut in. This is because of its bulk, choice of materials (brickwork), height and how close it is to windows in those properties. This would not meet Policies 7 and 42 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (January 2026). (X14BD)

Reason 4

Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the windows within Nos. 20, 22 and 24 would not experience a loss of daylight or sunlight. This would not meet Policies 7 and 42 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (January 2026). (X14AD)
