The application has failed to demonstrate that the proposals would provide the maximum reasonable amount of affordable housing, contrary to Local Plan 2019 policy CH2, The Mayor's Affordable Housing SPG (2017), London Plan Policy 3.11 and the guidance within the NPPF (2019).

Refused/No pre-app or discussion
To assist applicants in finding solutions to problems arising in relation to their development proposals the Local Planning Authority has produced planning policies, and provided written guidance, all of which are available on the Council's website. A pre-application advice service is also offered. In this case the proposal does not comply with guidance and policies. No pre-application discussions were entered into, but the Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of any new planning application.
