(Alix Hauser 020 8356 6377)

We have no great objection to this application although we would prefer to see the historical outhouse, adjacent to Number 13, incorporated within the design. This would retain the symmetry with its pair number 13.

2018/1191 102 Downham Road N1 5BE Erection of rear/side extension at 1st floor level and other associated external alterations. (Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

We object to this application, side storey extensions should be one storey subservient to the host building.

2018/1607 32 Englefield Road N1 4ET Erection of 2 storey rear extension; alterations to front entrance steps and railings; (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

No objection.

(Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

No objection

2018/1325 295-297 Haggerston Road E8 4EN Erection of roof extension at second floor level in association with the provision of 2x2-bed flats and associated external alterations including new doors at ground floor level and PV panels and rooflights at main roof level. (Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

We object to this application. We understand that the drawings may not be accurately dimensioned and they do not show the windows at 299-301 Haggerston Road correctly.So there would be an overlooking issue onto the terrace of the neighbouring property. As we pointed out in our objection to the previous appplication, the proposed zinc cladding would butt up against the CORTEN steel cladding of the neighbouring property and we feel that these materials would not sit well together.

2018/1688 46-48 Kingsland Road 431-434 Kingsland Viaduct and 1-3 Cotton's Gardens E2 8DA Variation of Condition 5 of planning permission dated 15/11/2010 for the "Use of the premises as a bar and restaurant (sui generis)." Namely to alter the hours of opening to Sunday - Wednesday - 12:00 to 00:00; and Thursday - Saturday 1200 to 03:30 hours; (Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

Provided that there are no objections from the residents in the locality we have no objection to the change of hours.

Proposal includes aterations to shopfront, replacement windows, extract flue and associated plant and landscaping of forecourt. (Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

No objection.

2018/1384 592 Kingsland Road E8 4AH Demolition and rebuild of north flank wall of No. 592 Kingsland Road at first and second floor level. (Nick Bovaird 0208 356 8291)

We have no objection to the remedial work, however it requires a firm with knowledge and experience of working with heritage buildings. We ask that the Listed Buildings Officer closely monitors the materials and the workmanship.

2018/1631 67 Lawford Road N1 5BJ Erection of replacement single-storey rear extension at reduced lower ground floor level, replacement two-storey side extension at lower and upper ground floor levels, replacement three-storey rear outrigger at lower and upper ground and first floor levels, installation of rooflight, installation of bin store within front setback and associated front and rear elevational alterations. (Alix Hauser 020 8356 6377)

No objection.

2018/1679 92 Mortimer Road N1 4LA Variation of condition 2 (approved plans) attached to planning permission ref 2017/3410 dated 29/11/2017 for the erection of a lower ground floor and ground floor rear extension, and elevational, external and boundary alterations in connection with conversion of lower and upper ground floors from a single dwelling (use class C3) to 2 self-contained dwellings (use class C3) comprising 1 x 3 bed and 1 x 2 bed units. The variation would allow an amended floor plan at upper ground floor. (Liz Sullivan 020 8356 1667)

We don't object to this application but the amended layout, as a results of reinstatement of the historic access, leaves the three person flat at upper ground floor level with only a small shower room. The positioning of the single bed across the doorway to the terrace is not ideal.

2018/0315 Unit 7 8-10 Orsman Road N1 5QJ Change of use to A4 bar/restaurant. (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

No objection.

2018/1358 12 Pearson Street E2 8JD Reconstruction of the rear elevation from a point 0.5m below ground floor ceiling level. Replacement of all windows within the front and rear elevations. (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

We understand the need to rebuild the rear wall. However, while the Design and Access statement refers to the use of lime mortar, the instructions for the brick layer are generic and refer to the use of cement which would not be appropriate for a property of this age. We are not totally convinced by the need to replace all of the windows and there are no drawingings defining the proposals. We would like the original windows to be restored by a heritage company and the original glass reused where possible.

2018/1534 1 Stamford Road N1 4JP - Erection of a new single storey rear extension. - Erection of a single storey side extension. - New opening and gate in the De Beauvoir Road garden wall to access the rear garden. - Raising a small segment of the boundary wall to De Beauvoir Road adjacent side return extension. - Internal modifications to return the upper floor to a 3 bedroom/ 1 bath configuration. (Raymond Okot 020 8356 8080)

We object to this application. The rear extension is oversized and compromises the rear elevation of the main building and also substantially reduces the size of the garden. The proposed side extension would result in the raised height of the garden wall which we consider will adversely affect the streetscape.

2017/2332 Land to rear of 30 Stamford Road N1 4JL Erection of part single-, part two- and part three-storey building to provide motorcycle showroom and repair facilities on ground floor, motorcycle showroom and ancillary offices (sui generis use); following demolition of existing warehouse buildings on land to rear of 30-36 Stamford Road. [Note for consultation: Revised drawings received] (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

For the benefit of the adjacent properties we suggest that the top floor be omitted as there would surely appear to be ample showroom space on two levels.
