Clapton CAAC July 2022

Planning Applications for Clapton CAAC meeting for 21 July 2022

2022/1513 40 Ickburgh Road, E5 8AD Creation of a lightwell and bathroom vent fans to front elevation, installation of 2 no new double glazed timber sash windows to the front basement and installation of Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) to the rear garden of the property Householder Planning [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Raymond Okot)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposed alterations to the building as such - though these are not part of the current application. We do, however, object to the installatio of a heat pump in the front well. These are large objects and, despite the intentions of the applicant to choose a 'quiet' one, it will still make a noise to the disturbance of neighbours and passers by. Just as Hackney has a policy of mounting air conditioning units on the fron of buildings - whether in a CA or not - so it should extend that ban to air pump which are likely to increase in number in the coming years.

2022/1018 Flat 4, 207 Evering Road, E5 8AL Reduction in size of rear dormer and partial reinstatement of the hipped roof to the rear. Full Planning Permission [Application Grant] (Alix Hauser)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application. The rear dormer is smaller in size than at present and set below the ridge.

2022/1426 1 Powell Road, E5 8DJ Erection of a single-storey, ground floor rear extension together with alterations to the rear and side fenestration of the building, replacement of existing windows, installation of rooflights, works to the front garden and boundary wall and the removal of the existing paint on the building. Householder Planning [Application Granted - Extra Conditions] (James Clark)

Clapton CAAC welcomes the improvements proposed as a means of bringing a house into good repair. We object, however, to the loss of the chimney stacks on the main roof. Even though they may no longer be functional, they form a distinctive part of the original design and bring the end of terrace to a more distinct full stop.

2022/1433 38 Clarence Road, E5 8HB Change of use from commercial to a studio flat Prior approval - new dwellings [Application Grant] (Micheal Garvey)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application but hopes that the applicant will take this opportunity to repair the render of the front elevation.

2022/1251 First Floor And Mezzanine Flat, 33 Alconbury Road, E5 8RG Erection of a rear dormer with two rooflights on the front slope Full Planning Permission [Application Grant] (Jonathan Bainbridge)

The D&A Statement implies that the application is in line with the volumes for a detached house - even though it lies in a terrace. Clapton CAAC believes that the area of glass in the rear roof extension is over-dominant and that the veluxes in the front roof slope should be placed more symmetrically.

2022/1564 23 Narford Road, E5 8RJ Erection of a single storey rear extension at basement level. Installation of window at rear basement level. Enlargement of basement window on front lightwell and installation of additional windows, along with landscaping to rear Householder Planning [Application Grant] (Jonathan Bainbridge)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2022/1330 21 Durlston Road, E5 8RP Erection of ground floor side and rear extensions, facade alterations and associated works Full Planning Permission [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Danny Huber)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2022/1577 65 Durlston Road, E5 8RP Erection of a ground floor rear and side wraparound extension with sukkah roof. Householder Planning [Application Grant] (James Clark)

Clapton notes that the plans do not show dimensions making it impossible to tell how much of the garden will be lost. We fear too much has gone already.

2022/1646 33 Durlston Road, E5 8RP Erection of rear dormer and insertion of two front rooflights Householder Planning [Application Granted - Extra Conditions] (Thomas Russell)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2022/1634 65 Durlston Road, E5 8RP Erection of a ground floor rear and side wraparound extension with sukkah roof. Householder Planning [Application Grant] (James Clark)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2022/1365 78 Amhurst Road, E8 1JH Construction of a roof extension in the rear roof slope together with the erection of rear extension, enlargement of rooflights, alterations to the rear elevation, landscaping works and alterations to the boundary wall. Householder Planning [Application Grant] (James Clark)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2022/1670 Flat 2, 89 Cazenove Road, N16 6BB Erection of single-storey rear extension at ground floor level Full Planning Permission [Application Refuse] (Gerard Livett)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application on the grounds of the loss of garden in what is already a very small patch.

2022/1454 77 Forburg Road, N16 6HR Erection of a rear dormer extension and the insertion of three front roof lights. Householder Planning [Application Grant] (Jonathan Bainbridge)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2022/0253 40 Chardmore Road, N16 6JH Erection of a side/rear extension at lower ground floor level. Householder Planning [Application Refuse] (Danny Huber)

Clapton CAAC notes that there are no dimensions given on the plans. It looks as if this house has already been extended and that the proposed addition would take the boundary more than three metres from the host building.

2022/1255 Flat A, 110 Osbaldeston Road, N16 6NL Conversion of three flats to two flats, and erection of a three storey rear extension at basement, ground and first floor, new window roof level Full Planning Permission (Micheal Garvey)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2022/1374 101 Osbaldeston Road, N16 6NP Excavation and extension of existing basement together with front and rear lightwells, replacement of front garage door with bay window, and erection of new front boundary wall. Erection of single storey rear extension, and Erection of rear dormer to facilitate the conversion of the existing dwelling into 3 self-contained flats together with cycle and refuse storage. Full Planning Permission (Erin Glancy)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application. We note, however, that the application states there are no trees on the site. The side elevation drawings indicate at least two. We trust they will be safeguarded.

2022/1617 First Floor And Second Floor Flat, 38 Alkham Road, N16 7AA Erection of a rear roof dormer extension; replacement of rear windows with double glazed timber sash windows. Full Planning Permission [Application Refuse] (Alishba Emanuel)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2022/1588 74 Osbaldeston Road, N16 7DR Erection of part single- and part two-storey rear extension; excavation of basement and creation of new front lightwell; installation of external wall insulation on rear outrigger; alterations to rear garden levels and landscaping Householder Planning (Gerard Livett)

Clapton CAAC strongly objects to this application. The rear is massively and unsympathetically overdeveloped. There is little to suggest much regard has been taken to the form of the host building. The house has already been extended to the rear. To extend it beyond the three-metre line is contrary to policy - as is the pushing out at first floor level.

2022/1563 Sarahh, 74 Fountayne Road, N16 7DT Replacement of existing canopy Full Planning Permission [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Raymond Okot)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.
