Kingsland CAAC January 2023

Planning Applications for Kingsland CAAC meeting for January 2023

2022/2784 1 Hackney Road, E2 7NX Erection of a second floor rear extension, elevational alterations and formation of a roof terrace at first floor level, to facilitate the change of use from residential space ancillary to the commercial use at ground floor (Sui Generis) to one large 7 x bed HMO (Sui Generis) [Reconsultation due to change in development description] Full Planning Permission (Danny Huber)

We have some concerns about this application most notably that there is only one kitchen, albeit large, for seven people. We think that one sink and one hob may be inadequate. We also think that the proposed windows should match the existing.

2022/2318 93 Balls Pond Road, N1 4BL Restore front steps and cover with asphalt Listed Building Consent (Micheal Garvey)

We object to this application. Asphalt as a finish is not an appropriate material for a listed building and terrace.

2022/2324 93 Balls Pond Road, N1 4BL Repair and replace single storey rear flat roof to rear of property. Listed Building Consent (Micheal Garvey)

We have no objection provided that the detailing is appropriate.

2022/2715 35 Northchurch Road, N1 4ED Replacement of front door [in association with Householder Application 2022/2623]. Listed Building Consent (Alix Hauser)

We have no objection but we did wonder whether this was an original front door with the upper wooden panels replaced by glazing. If this is the case and the door is in good condition then a qualified carpenter could restore the upper panels.

2022/2623 35 Northchurch Road, N1 4ED Replacement of front door [in association with Listed Building Consent 2022/2715]. Householder Planning (Alix Hauser)

We have no objection but we did wonder whether this was an original front door with the upper wooden panels replaced by glazing. If this is the case and the door is in good condition then a qualified carpenter could restore the upper panels.

2022/2894 53 Northchurch Road, N1 4EE Installation of Photovoltaic panels on the rear and side roofslopes. (In association with listed building consent 2022/2965) Householder Planning (James Clark)

We have no objection in principle but we think that the panels should sit tidily within the roof form and that there is one too many on the south facing roof. We wonder why the applicant is not proposing to install panels on the flat roof of the extension.

2022/2965 53 Northchurch Road, N1 4EE Listed building consent for the installation of Photovoltaic panels on the rear and side roofslopes. (In association with Householder planning application 2022/2894) Listed Building Consent (James Clark)

We have no objection in principle but we think that the panels should sit tidily within the roof form and that there is one too many on the south facing roof. We wonder why the applicant is not proposing to install panels on the flat roof of the extension.

2022/2834 2, Ovanna Mews Buckingham Road, N1 4EY Erection of a wall-mounted flue and installation of an air conditioning unit at ground floor level. Householder Planning (Danny Huber)

We object to the proposed flue which is an unsightly addition to the elevation.

2022/3082 90 De Beauvoir Road, N1 4EN External alterations and refurbishment works to no.90 including the installation of new entrance stairs with an inground platform lift for disabled visitors, new glazed entrance doors, replacement Crittall style windows, the installation of a new flat roof with stair overrun, PV panels and air handling plant, and the laying of new hardstanding to the forecourt, together with the erection of a new covered cycle store within the forecourt to no.92. Full Planning Permission (Gerard Livett)

We have no objection to this application. However we did wonder about the rooflights to the rear of the building at upper ground floor level - how is the rainwater discharged?

2022/2889 Oz Burger, ., 495 Kingsland Road, E8 4AU Variation of condition 1 a) Removal of the unauthorised flu at the rear of the property; and b) installation of the flu within 6 months of the decision date to extend the removal date to an additional 3 months of planning permission 2022/1051 dated 12/07/2022 Removal/Variation of Condition(s) (Micheal Garvey)

We support the officer's decision and think that the applicant should replace the unauthorised flue without further delay.

2022/2642 9 Enfield Road, N1 5EN Prior approval for a change of use of the ground floor from commercial, business and service (use class E) to two self-contained residential units (use class C3). Prior approval - new dwellings (Alix Hauser)

This is the second application for change of use to residential and, although the flats have been reconfigured, the layout is still poor. There are some overlooking issues, the ventilation is limited and waste management has not been addressed.
