Decision

 
i. 
Application 1 (2022/1835) 
- Booker Cash & Carry and BMW Car
Service Garage, 41-49 and 49-59 Battersea Park Road, SW8
5AL – (5
for refusal, 1 against refusal, and 3
abstentions) that
had an
appeal not been lodged against non-determination, the Committee was
minded to refuse planning permission, for the
following reasons:
· 
The quantum height, and of the increased height of
the proposal is excessive compared to the extant
scheme.
· 
As a consequence of the increase in height and close
proximity there will be an impact on the adjoining properties, in
particular the Peabody site.  There will
be a loss of amenity and outlook for the adjoining blocks, with an
impact of overlooking the existing gardens as well in the amenity
space on the Peabody site.  There will
be an overbearing impact on the neighbouring sites, particularly
the homes in the Peabody site.
· 
Due to the change of use from being wholly
residential to being overwhelmingly for student use with some
residential.  There is a balance between
need and demand and this is the wrong balance for land use, and for
this site, given the demand and need for housing, and affordable
housing in particular, is greater here.
