Planning committee

Decided by Wandsworth Planning Applications Committee on 12 Mar 2026.

Refused unanimously

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the terrace was considered acceptable in design and would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbours.
  • Neighbours raised concerns about overlooking, privacy, outlook, inconsistency with earlier decisions and the terrace works already having begun.
  • The committee voted unanimously to refuse because of overlooking, noise and disturbance to nearby residents.

Site constraints 4

Air quality management area: Wandsworth AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
National infrastructure project 657 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is 657 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
