8a Rozel Road , London, SW4 0EP

the demolition of the existing building and the erection of a new dwellinghouse with basement

Authority: London Borough of Lambeth
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Clark L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed dwelling upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
the effect on the living conditions for existing occupiers of 9 and 11 Turret Grove with regard to outlook
the effect on living conditions for existing occupiers on Rozel Road and Turret Grove with regard to noise
whether the future occupiers would likely experience acceptable living conditions within the first floor with regard to outlook and sunlight

What decided it

The material harm to character and appearance of the surrounding area, combined with harm to the outlook of existing occupiers at No. 11 Turret Grove and unmitigated noise concerns, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations indicating otherwise.

Plan policies cited: Policy Q2, Policy Q5, Policy Q7, Policy Q8, Policy Q6, Policy Q14, Policy H5

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
