3.3 On 4th August, 2000 planning permission was granted for the ‘Change of use of
first and second floors from ancillary retail to four self-contained flats and
alterations to front and rear elevations to facilitate the conversion’ (ref
99/00043/FUL).
3.4 On 13th February, 2004 planning permission was refused for the ‘Change of
use from shop (A1) to a bar/internet cafe (A3) on the ground floor, ancillary
store, office and customer toilets on the first floor and ancillary office space on
the second floor and installation of two air conditioning units on the roof of the
three storey building’ (Ref 01/01391/FUL). The reason for refusal states the
following:
The proposed change of use, on an individual basis and cumulatively with other
Class A3 uses in the vicinity, would be detrimental to the amenities of nearby
residential properties by reason of noise and general disturbance. As such, the
proposal is contrary to Policies S14 and ENV19 of the adopted Unitary
Development Plan (1998) and Policies 7, 29 and 53 of the Deposit Replacement
Unitary Development Plan (2002-2017).
3.5 On 7th September, 2004 planning permission refused for the ‘Conversion,
change of use and extension of property above the existing ground floor shop to
provide 9 self-contained flats, including the extension to rear at first and second
floor levels with the erection of an additional storey above, replacement of
existing shopfront and other fenestration on front elevation, together with
associated alterations’ (Ref 04/02232/FUL). Permission was refused for the
following reasons:
(i) The proposed extension, by reason of its siting, height, massing and
fenestration detail, would constitute an intensive development of the site. It
would appear an intrusive and prominent feature that would be out of keeping
with the existing building and the townscape character of the area. It would also
fail to preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area. As such,
the proposal is contrary to Policies CD2, CD18 and H10 of the adopted Unitary
Development Plan, Policies 33 and 42 of the Revised Deposit Unitary
Development Plan and Council's Supplementary Planning Guidance on
Residential Extensions and Alterations.
(ii) The proposed development, by reason of its siting, fenestration, rear
balconies and its proximity to the rear boundary would adversely affect the
residential amenities of neighbouring properties at the rear of the site and would
result in overlooking and loss of privacy. As such, the proposal is contrary to
Policies CD18, G17, H10 and Standard ST5 of the adopted Lambeth Unitary
Development Plan (1998) and to Policy 33 of the Revised Deposit Unitary
Development Plan (2002-2017).
3.6 On 20 th April 2005 planning permission was refused for ‘Conversion and change
of use and extension of property above the existing ground floor shop to provide
8 self contained flats, including the extension to rear at first and second floor
levels with the erection of an additional storey above, replacement of existing
shopfront and other fenestration on front elevation, together with associated
alterations’ (Ref 05/00578/FUL). Permission was refused for the following
