Kingsland CAAC June 2021

Planning Applications for Kingsland CAAC meeting for June 2021

2021/1165 Flat A, 25 Buckingham Road, N1 4DG Erection of a single storey roof extension to facilitate conversion of 1x bed unit into 2 x bed unit; formation of a roof terrace; elevational alterations. Householder Planning (Danny Huber)

We object to further developing this site to a more substantial dwelling. This would set a dangerous precedent for the area. We note that there is no Application Form.

2021/1215 Davis House, 83a Geffrye Street, E2 8JA Erection of a single storey roof extension to provide additional floorspace (Use Class E) together with associated works to the existing building and the introduction of a replacement access gate, cycle parking, a refuse storage area and associated works to external amenity area Full Planning Permission (Louise Prew)

We have some concerns about the design of the proposed roof entension. The building sits to the rear of the listed Georgian Terrace in Pearson Street and its overall height and bulk should be in proportion to the terrace.

2021/1350 Geffrye Museum Kingsland Road, E2 8EA Installation of 3 sensors and support brackets on gates on Kingsland Road and installation of 1 sensor and frame on gate on Geffrye Street. Full Planning Permission (Alix Hauser)

No objection.

2021/1358 1 Baltic Place, N1 5AQ The proposed installation of 6 no antennas, 1 no dish on main roof and installation of 1no Power Supply cabinet and 2 no 42U Flatpack Frames on new steelwork frame on lower roof and ancillary alterations including additional handrails. Full Planning Permission (Claire Moore)

No objection.

2021/1020 338 Kingsland Road, E8 4DA Erection of a dormer window in rear roof slope Full Planning Permission (Louise Prew)

We have no objection in principle. We would support the objectives set out in the pre-planning advice and hope for close supervision by Conservation Officers. However we note that there is no Design and Access statement or a Heritage statement which we would expect for a Grade II listed building. Also the full landscape plan and method statement which are recommended in the pre-app advice are lacking. We question the glazing format on the rear elevation and wonder if a more historical 6 over 6 arrangement of panes would give better heritage gain. The replacement foul air pipe appears to fall short, finishing at the bottom of one of the dormer windows.

2021/1399 14 Albion Square, E8 4ES Re-pointing (partial) to upper storeys of side and rear elevations. Listed Building Consent (Kim Aukett)

No objection.

2021/1301 18 De Beauvoir Square, N1 4LD Construction of a new bin store in the front garden and painting of front door. Householder Planning (Claire Moore)

We object to the size of the proposed bin store. It is supposed to house three bins and, as the new black bins are 550mm wide, 2.5 metres is excessive and out of proportion to the frontage of the house.

2021/1377 14 Ardleigh Road, N1 4HP Replacement of Existing Single-glazed Timber Windows with Identical Style Double-glazed Timber Windows Full Planning Permission (Erin Glancy)

No objection but note that no details are given of the existing glazing bar which is to be matched.

2021/1464 41 Ufton Road, N1 4HE Erection of single-storey rear extension at lower ground floor level; erection of single-storey side extension at upper ground floor level; changes to front elevation to replace garage door with wall, door and window Householder Planning (Raymond Okot)

We object to this application. Although the proposed new upper extension is correctly set back, the existing side extension is not. This will creat a disjointed façade and will detrimentally affect the setting of the terrace. We are concerned that with no access to the upper floor level from the main building and the insertion of another staircase this could become a potential annex dwelling with seperate access. The rear elevation lacks thought and integration.

2021/1052 4 Albion Square, E8 4ES Alterations to first floor bedroom and external alterations Listed Building Consent (Micheal Garvey)

No objection although it would be interesting to know how the room unit connects to the unit installed on the roof.

2021/1093 318 Kingsland Road, E8 4DE Replacement of existing PVC pipes and gutters with metal pipes on the rear elevation; replacement of the existing lower ground floor door with solid timber door; alteration to materials and style of window on rear elevation; and painting of parts of the front elevation Listed Building Consent (Louise Prew)

No objection although in the absence of a drawing we would ask that the Conservation Officer ensures that the style and glazing bar proportions of the proposed replacement window are correct.

2021/1291 Kingsgate Estate Tottenham Road, N1 4DD The removal and replacement of 3No. Existing antennas with 3No. Upgraded antennas affixed to existing support poles on the rooftop, the removal and replacement of 1No. BTS 3900A cabinet (600 x 450 x 1640mm) with 1No. Airo cabinet (600 x 600 x 1980mm), the installation of 1No. GPS unit affixed to a gantry support pole and ancillary development thereto. Full Planning Permission (Erin Glancy)

No objection.

2021/1157 Unit 5, Perseverance Works, 38 Kingsland Road, E2 8DD External repairs including window replacements, repointing brickwork, replacing guttering, replacing coping stones, repair and repaint timber, render to the front facade. A new kitchen and extract to the 2nd floor and a new ensuite bathroom and extract to the 4th floor mezzanine. Householder Planning (Kim Aukett)

We have no objection, the remedial works are appreciated.

2021/1476 18 De Beauvoir Square, N1 4LD Construction of a new bin store in the front garden and painting of front door. Listed Building Consent (Claire Moore)

We object to the size of the proposed bin store. It is supposed to house three bins and, as the new black bins are 550mm wide, 2.5 metres is excessive and out of proportion to the frontage of the house.

2021/1505 17 Stamford Road, N1 4JP Full refurbishment and restoration to the property, works include erection of a 2-storey side and rear extension on the lower and upper ground floor levels and rebuild existing box-room on the first-floor level and garden room. Householder Planning (Erin Glancy)

We have some concerns about this application. The removal of two trees and the need to lower the ground floor level are regretted. The proposed new window at upper ground floor level on the rear facade is still too large and the proportions are wrong. The glazed rooflight above the stairs is also too large and its asymmetric position does not enhance the roofscape.

2021/1470 42 Hertford Road, N1 5AE Erection of a single storey outbuilding to front garden Householder Planning (Danny Huber)

No objection

2021/1574 75 De Beauvoir Road, N1 4EL Erection of timber fencing above existing boundary walls in rear garden to a height of 2m above ground level [Note for consultation: Listed Building Consent 2021/1575 also received] Full Planning Permission (Gerard Livett)

No objection.

2021/1575 75 De Beauvoir Road, N1 4EL Erection of timber fencing above existing boundary walls in rear garden to a height of 2m above ground level [Note for consultation: Planning application 2021/1574 also received] Listed Building Consent (Gerard Livett)

No objection.

2021/1623 Strategy Finance, Basement And Ground Floor, 173 Balls Pond Road, N1 4BG Prior notification for change of use of basement and ground floor levels from office (Use Class E) to a self-contained residential unit (Use Class C3). Prior Notification - Commercial (Alix Hauser)

According to the Design and Access Statement the applicant proposes a single dwelling over two floors, howerver many of the other documents refer to two studio flats (Daylight and Sunlight Report, Existing Site and Proposed Plans, Section). We have ojected to two earlier applications for two studio flats (2019/3797 and 2020/0690) and consider that the proposal for a single residential unit on two floors does not substantially improve the quality of accommodation. The lack of light, particularly at basement level, and the only windows opening on to a busy main road with resultant poor air quality present significant disadvantages. The design of this property is better suited to commercial use.

2021/1466 5 Culford Mews, N1 4DX Ground floor side extension and rebuilding of garden walls facing Culford Mews for 5 Culford Mews and 120 Tottenham Road. Full Planning Permission [Application Withdrawn] (Kim Aukett)

Application withdrawn
