Decision & conditions
decisionPlanning conditions
- The proposed development, by reason of its siting, scale and massing, would result in an unsympathetic and incongruous form of development that fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the surrounding conservation area and host building of townscape merit. The scheme is therefore contrary to, in particular, Local Plan policies 28, 29 and 30, NPPF policies HE6 and HE7, London Plan policy HC1, and Supplementary Planning Document 'House Extensions and External Alterations' (2015) as supported by the Kew Foot Road Conservation Area Statement and Kew Foot Road Conservation Area Study.
- For the avoidance of doubt the Drawing(s) No(s) and Document(s) to which this decision refers are as follows: Heritage Statement Report received by the Local Planning Authority on 21 Jul 2026 Design and Access Statement Report received by the Local Planning Authority on 04 Jun 2026 Location plan, Existing and Proposed Roof Plan, Second Floor Plan, First Floor Plan, Ground Floor and Third Floor 23001-A-03-00 Submitted Drawing received by the Local Planning Authority on 04 Jun 2026 Existing Front Elevation and Rear Elevation 23001-A-05-00 Submitted Drawing received by the Local Planning Authority on 04 Jun 2026 Proposed Front Elevation and Rear Elevation 23001-A-05-01 Submitted Drawing received by the Local Planning Authority on 04 Jun 2026 Fire strategy plan 23001-A-03-01 Submitted Drawing received by the Local Planning Authority on 04 Jun 2026
- In accordance with Section DM3 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Richmond upon Thames Borough Council takes a positive and proactive approach to the delivery of sustainable development, by: * Providing a formal pre-application service * Providing written policies and guidance, all of which is available to view on the Council's website * Where appropriate, negotiating amendments to secure a positive decision * Determining applications in a timely manner. In this instance: * The applicants did not seek formal pre-application advice, and the scheme was found to be contrary to policy and guidance, and subsequently refused. The Council is ready to enter into discussions, through the Council's formal pre-application service, to advise the applicants of relevant policy and guidance; and where possible assist in the preparation of a new planning permission. More information on the pre-application service and relevant fees can be found online at www.richmond.gov.uk/pre-application_for_developers.
