The prior approval planning applications submitted in March 2026 for 26-54 and 56-78 Beverley Court have been REFUSED.

Within the RBWM planning officer report, it states:

“Prior approval is refused by virtue of Part 20, Class A, Para A.2(1)(e) of Schedule 2 of the Town and
Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) as the
external appearance of the resulting building, by reason of its height, mass, scale and design, would
appear unduly prominent in the street scene and would be inconsistent with the prevailing height
and form of neighbouring properties and out of keeping with the locality in general and would fail to
add to the overall quality of the area, contrary to the design objectives set out in the paragraphs
124e) and 135 of the NPPF (2024) and the guidance set out in the Council’s Building Height and
Tall Buildings SPD (November 2023).”
