Planning Applications for Clapton CAAC meeting for 21 January 2021

2020/4059 160 Lower Clapton Road, E5 0QJ Increase internal floor to ceiling height of basement floor Listed Building Consent (Micheal Garvey)

This is essentially a structural matter and provided Senior Conservation Officers are happy with the proposal and any changes in light of party wall agreements are appraised by them, we have no objection.

2020/3446 New Regents College, The Former New Regents College, 28 Ickburgh Road, E5 8AD Establishment of a specialist school within the existing two buildings with the associated refurbishment of the two existing (school) buildings on Ickburgh Road. Works include the insertion of new openings and replacement of existing openings in elevations, insertion of rooflights, alterations to the roofscape, alterations to cladding, removal of existing temporary 'porta-cabin' structures and sheds, construction of a new glazed lobby, general refurbishment of internal areas and landscaping and the creation of a cycle store and the reprovision of 2 accessible parking bays. Full Planning Permission (Claire Moore)

The locally listed building is an undesignated heritage asset and as such the application should include a Heritage Assessment, but it does not. Such research would have revealed to the applicant that this very early work by Norman Foster sports the original high contrast colour scheme which was an extra-sensory enrichment, and helped give the buildings their unique signature. Their apparent loss is to be resisted. In addition there is insufficient details of some of the new elements and repairs. The choice of timber is not supported without further justification, details and samples as timber weathers poorly and will detract from the appearance. Overall we suggest a decorative rethink. Otherwise the proposal is acceptable.
