Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- Location and Block Plan E00, Proposed Drawings Block Plan P01, Proposed Drawings Floor Plans P02, Proposed Drawings Floor Plans P03, Proposed Drawings Elevations P04, Proposed Drawings Elevations P05, Proposed Drawings Elevations P06, Proposed Drawings Elevations P07, Proposed Drawings Section P08, Proposed Drawings Details P09, Daylight Sunlight Analysis by Morgan Light Assessors dated March 2026, Acoustic Report by Atelier Crescendo ACC-00075-ARP1-3 dated 13 February 2026, Contaminated Land Risk Assessment PH1-2026-000003 dated 02/02/2026
- REASON: The proposal fails to accord with Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB.1(k), and Class AB.1(l) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as the submitted details (plans, elevations and sections) fail to accurately depict the existing building, having omitted the in-situ plant on the rear elevation, and are considered inconsistent. The Local Planning Authority therefore refuses the application as the developer has provided insufficient information to enable the authority to establish whether the proposed development complies with, any conditions, limitations or restrictions specified within the Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB.(B)(3) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
- REASON: The proposal fails to accord with Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB.2(1)(f) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The applicant has failed to demonstrate that all habitable rooms to Studio Flat 02 would be provided with adequate natural light as the provision of windows in a side elevation is not possible under condition (3) of Class AB.2. This is contrary to the NPPF, the GPDO and the Local Plan Development Framework policies insofar as they are material considerations relevant to the prior approval matters.
- REASON: The proposed fails to accord with Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB.2(1)(e) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The proposed design of the additional floor fails to complement the architectural integrity of the original building, and the submission fails to demonstrate a high-quality design (including full details of materials), and the development results in the existing poor-quality building becoming more visually prominent in the streetscene to the detriment of local visual amenity.
- REASON: The proposal fails to accord with Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB.2 Condition 3 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as the submitted details (plans, elevations and sections) include the installation of side facing windows. The Local Planning Authority therefore refuses the application as the development does not comply with this requirement as specified within the Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB.2 Condition 3 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
