Planning appeal decision
33 Holmewood Road, London, SW4 3RP
Planning appeal 3334184 at 33 Holmewood Road, London, SW4 3RP (London Borough of Lambeth) was dismissed on 5 May 2026 by Inspector Lo S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control.
Without planning permission: 1. the erection of a single-storey, ground floor L-shaped wrap around extension on the rear and side elevation of the original 3-storey return/outrigger at the premises (‘the unauthorised single-storey rear wrap-around extension’); and 2. the infill of the angled rear corner of the original 3-storey rear return/outrigger (‘the unauthorised rear corner infill); and 3. the removal of all the wooden sash windows from the existing front, side and rear elevations of the premises and their replacement with uPVC windows (‘the unauthorised uPVC windows’); and 4. the unauthorised material change of use of the premises to two self-contained flats comprising of a flat at ground floor level and a flat at first and second floor level (‘the two unauthorised flats’)

- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control
What decided it
The substantial divergence between the works actually constructed (continuous wrap-around extension with infilled corner and uPVC windows) and those shown on the approved drawings meant the development was not undertaken in accordance with planning permission 19/02834/FUL and therefore constituted a breach of planning control.
