Clapton CAAC November 2016

Planning Applications for Clapton CAAC Tuesday 30 November 2016

2016/3746 44 Alconbury Road E5 8RH Excavation of the basement floor by 150mm at the front & 600mm at the rear, excavation to extend the front lighwell, erection of single storey extension at basement level, erection of flat roof rear dormer, insertion of rear roof light and external alterations. (James Clark 020 8356 7731)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection.

2016/3706 44 Durlston Road E5 8RR Erection of single storey rear/side extension at ground floor level and associated external alterations. (Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the scheme, which improves on the unlawful development, though notes the exceptionally poor quality of the drawings.

2016/3536 185 Brooke Road E5 8AB Erection of single storey ground floor rear extention and associated external alterations. (Sissi Yang 02083561352)

The Clapton CAAC is puzzled by the Walsingham Rd precedents cited and feels there are of no help in assessing this application. This will be the first roof extension on the terrace, which benefits from retaining its original roofline. The provided section depicts a much deeper parapet than apparently exists, so if the proposal is to be granted, officers must verify the drawings and confirm the dormer will, in fact, be invisible from the opposite footpath.

2016/3721 50-52 Chardmore Road LONDON N16 6JH Erection of single storey rear extensions, rear dormers, and new front rooflights for both 50 and 52 Chardmore Road. (Sissi Yang 02083561352)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection.

2016/3390 415 Mare Street LONDON E8 1HY Erection of new first floor rear extension and external staircase to provide an additional bedroom to the ground floor flat (Toyin Omodara 0208 356 8095)

2016/3868 14-16 Rowe Lane E9 6EL Demolition of existing premises and redevelopment of 19 flats comprising 1 x 4 bedroom Flat, 2 x 3 bedroom Flats, 10 x 2 bedroom Flats and 6 x 1 bedroom Flats plus individual private amenity spaces, secure cycle parking spaces and refuse areas. (Stuart Hammond)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the scheme in principle though has some difficulty rationalising the primary elevation. However we recognise as a design matter it comes down to a subjective judgment as to whether the treatment responds appropriately to the surroundings. The Clapton CAAC intends to make a further review of the proposal and may make further comment in the near future.

2016/3728 22 Clapton Square E5 8HP Internal alterations to provide a shower on second floor bedroom and air brick to basement floor front elevation (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection provided a suitable material for the air brick is secured or the matter is reserved.

2016/3818 56 Fountayne Road N16 7DT Excavation of basement and front/rear lightwells; erection of part two storey, part single storey rear extension at basement level; alterations to ground floor and basement level to convert existing ground floor flat into three self-contained flats; replacement of front boundary and landscaping of front garden. For the purposes of consultation: The proposed housing mix is 2x 1 and 1x3 bedrooms. (Nick Bovaird 0208 356 8291)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the scheme save for the boundary treatment which should be in the form of a traditional painted metal railing upon a dwarf wall.

2016/3902 35-37 Kenmure Road Hackney LONDON E8 1JU Demolition of existing 2 storey building and erection of a 2 storey building to provide a retail unit at ground floor and 1 residential units at first floor level (1 X 4 bed) (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC feels the proposal suffers from a poor elevation treatment. To be successful the scheme must enhance the public realm and enliven the street scene. There is no detail in the elevation that supports that objective. Without a specific tenant or use in mind, it is hard to imagine that the enlarged double unit will be a viable commercial proposition. To safeguard the commercial element, a revised design should include some flexibility to return the commercial space to two separate units.

2016/3681 McDonald's Restaurant 359-363 Mare Street E8 1HY Alterations to shopfront- new aluminium fascia panels Khaki green; aluminium cladding to columns; new dark grey tiles to stall risers and 1.3 sqm extension to (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection.

2016/3684 McDonald's Restaurant 359-363 Mare Street E8 1HY Installation of 1 internal 47" LCD promotional screen behind shopfront and replacement of fascia signage (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection.

2016/3872 Flat A, 20 Clapton Square E5 8HP Internal alterations to accommodate a conversion and extension (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection in principle, but the design is particularly poor and there is a missed opportunity to create a high quality, considered design that responds to the listed building.

2016/3863 Flat A, 20 Clapton Square E5 8HP Conversion of basement flat from one bed flat to a two bedroom flat and single storey rear extension at baserment level. (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection, but planners should satisfy themselves that proposed timescale is realistic given progress of the related building works.

2016/3755 44 Brooke Road Hackney LONDON N16 7LR Excavation of single storey basement including front and rear lightwells to create 1 x 1 bedroom flat, erection of a single storey side extension and exterior alterations. (James Clark 020 8356 7731)

2016/3262 60 Clarence Road Hackney LONDON E5 8HB Demolition of existing single storey rear extension and erection of mansard roof extension and two storey rear extension to form 1`x1 bed flat and 1x3 bed flat (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC finds the proposal acceptable in principle, but given extent of the work, there is a missed opportunity to rebuild the facade to a higher quality.

2016/3899 28 Amhurst Road Hackney LONDON E8 1JN Erection of a single-storey first floor rear extension (Raymond Okot 020 8356 8080)

The Clapton CAAC wonders if this ought to be a minor material amendment of the earlier granted scheme as we understand the proposal to be identical, from an external point of view. If this interpretation is correct, then we have no objection.

2016/3490 Flat A 61 Brooke Road Hackney LONDON N16 7RA Replacement of two existing windows at lower ground floor level with one large window. (James Carleton 020 8356 6345)
