Decision & conditions
DecisionPlanning conditions
- The application, by reason of insufficient information and justification in regard to the relocation of the kitchen to the ground floor and creation of a doorway at first floor level, fails to demonstrate that the proposals would preserve the special architectural and historic interest and heritage significance of the listed building. By virtue of the impact on the original floor plan, loss of historic fabric and the erosion of the legibility of the room’s historic function, less than substantial harm would result and there are no public benefits that would outweigh this harm. This is contrary to the Town Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, London Plan policy HC1 and the Local Plan, in particular policy 29.

- In accordance with paragraphs 38-42 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 seek formal pre-application advice, however, the Council's recommendations for amendments were not followed, and the scheme was found to be contrary to policy and guidance, and therefore the application was 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.
