Clapton CAAC November 2019

Planning Applications for Clapton CAAC meeting for 21 November 2019

2019/3702 and 2019/3703 10 Lower Clapton Road E5 0PD Alterations to front boundary including removal/relocation of brick piers, and iron gate to facilitate relocation of vehicle cross-over. Installation of electric charging point on site. (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.                                            

2019/3559 165 Brooke Road E5 8AG Erection of a single storey rear extension at ground floor level (Catherine Slade 020 8356 8056)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3638 Ground Floor Flat 38 Powell Road E5 8DJ Erection of a single storey rear extension (Fabian Culican 020 8356 4747)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3876 Anthony Kendall House 219 Lower Clapton Road E5 8EH Replacement of single glazed timber windows with uPVC double glazed alternatives. Styles and colours to match existing and new rockpanel board. (Thomas Bertwistle 020 8356 2532)

Whilst we recognise the current windows make a negative contribution to the Conservation Area and detract somewhat from the neighbouring church, it is important that the situation isn't further eroded by installing windows with a heavier profile and certainly not with faux glazing bars. Whilst there is something to be said for introducing some uniformity to the current mish mash of windows, the quality of those proposed is not up to scratch. We suggest the client looks at other, more elegant options and materials (for instance aluminium) and in any event provides samples for approval.

2019/3853 15 Hogan Way E5 8RF Lawful development certificate for roof dormer extension (Thomas Bertwistle 020 8356 2532)

No comment

2019/3743 23 Narford Road E5 8RJ Erection of a mansard roof extension (Taylar Vernon 020 8356 7159)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3582 3 Durlston Road E5 8RP Retention of a ground floor rear extension. (Kim Aukett 020 8356 4740)

There is insufficient detail and context in the plans to assess the extension against those of the neighbours, but it appears that the cumulative effect of all the phases of extension is a mass that consumes more than 50% of the garden and results in an inadequate amenity.

2019/3533 46 Amhurst Road E8 1JH Demolition of existing garage and erection of single storey ground floor rear artist studio B1. (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

This unusual standalone B1 studio is accessed and serviced directly from Kenmure Road and is possibly slightly 'over engineered' for it's scale. We would have liked to have seen further exploration of the relative proportions of the two floors as seen from Kenmure Rd as the proposed balance apeears top-heavy. Whilst we don't doubt the intentions of the current applicant, it should be noted that the site could easily become a live work or residential unit without further development and officers should satisfy themselves that such a change of use is sufficiently safeguarded against.

2019/3321 24 Sutton Place E9 6EH Removal of obscure glazing at first floor and obscure glazed screen at second floor levels and installation of projecting obscure glazed screens at first and second floor (Danny Huber 020 8356 1453)

This application is bonkers. It is clear from the planning statement that the applicant is at pains to overcome the substance of earlier enforcement action and maximize their own light amenity. They have taken the requirements to their logical conclusion and the end result has little regard to the appearance or cohesion of the affected elevation. The large projecting screens, as well as introducing significant visual disharmony, lack sufficient detail in the drawings to satisfy anyone that they do not create significant problems in the collection and disposal of water, leaves and other detritus.

2019/3940 23 Sutton Square E9 6EQ Erection of a dormer roof rear extension (Raymond Okot 020 8356 8080)

Broadly we have no objection to the individual scheme, which seen in isolation, is well designed. However we lament the further erosion of the symmetry of the square as a whole.

2019/3679 34 Forburg Road N16 6HS Erection of a rear dormer window roof extension and single storey rear extension (Taylar Vernon 020 8356 7159)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3596 43 Filey Avenue N16 6JL Conversion and part-excavation of the basement into a self-contained dwelling. Enlargment of lightwell to the front and lightwell to the rear. (Fabian Culican 020 8356 4747)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3605 86 Osbaldeston Road N16 6NL Erection of a rear dormer extension (Kelsi Bolstad 020 8356 4160)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3472 47 Cazenove Road N16 6PA Erection of part single storey extension (basement) and part single storey rear extension (ground floor); introduction of front and rear lightwells; replacement of existing rear dormer with larger rear dormer; introduction of rooflights to front and side elevations; conversion of building to 3No. self-contained residential units. (Kelsi Bolstad 020 8356 4160)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3531 14 Sanford Terrace N16 7LH Alterations to cupboard and bathroom at second floor level and replacement of ground floor rear window (Catherine Slade 020 8356 8056)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3654 Basement Flat 30 Jenner Road N16 7SA Single storey lower ground floor rear extension (Kim Aukett 020 8356 4740)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/3576 31 Jenner Road N16 7SB the erection of part single, part three storey rear extension to provide two additional bedsits and a communal bathroom and lounge (Taylar Vernon 020 8356 7159) and 2019/3575 Erection of part single, part three storey rear extension to provide two additional bedsits and a communal bathroom and lounge to existing house in multiple occupation (HMO) (Use class: Sui Generis) (Taylar Vernon 020 8356 7159)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to either proposal and the loss of symmetry to the outriggers is inconsequential so should be the preferred scheme. We suggest officers again satisfy themselves that no additional units are likely to be created.
