Clapton CAAC April 2019

Planning Applications for Clapton CAAC meeting for 25 April 2019

2019/1212 74 Filey Avenue N16 6JJ Erection of a rear dormer roof extension. (Alyce Jeffery 020 8356 1804)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/1172 82 Kyverdale Road N16 6PL Construction of a first floor terrace with 1.9m timber screening. (Alyce Jeffery 020 8356 1804)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/1070 67 Northwold Road N16 7DS Erection of a ground floor side/rear extension. (Alyce Jeffery 020 8356 1804)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/1278 Flat A 94 Brooke Road N16 7RT Erection of a single storey lower ground floor rear extension. (Alyce Jeffery 020 8356 1804)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/0343 21 Cazenove Road N16 6PA Erection of part single- and part four-storey extension at rear following demolition of existing single-storey building to provide additrional education floorspace. (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

The Clapton CAAC agrees with the Hackney Society Planning Group and adds that the cumulative mass lacks any grace. We suggest the land is inadequate for the size of school proposed.

We further note the apparent lack of consideration of plant and the fact that an existing proliferation of AC units is missing from the existing drawings. If it is proposed that they be removed it is not clear how the building will be cooled and heated.

2019/0777 65 Osbaldeston Road N16 7DL Erection of single-storey rear extensions at ground and first floor levels; erection of side and rear dormer roof extension with rooflights; reinstatement of front turret feature over existing front bay; conversion of existing two self-contained residential units to create three self-contained residential units. [Note for consultation: Proposed dwelling mix is 1 x 1-bed, 1 x 2-bed, 1 x 4-bed] (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal. Although in isolation this scheme is an overdevelopment, it is of a similar scale and form to a number of the neighbours on the same terrace.

2019/1131 54 Osbaldeston Road N16 7DR Erection of rear dormer roof extension and provision of gable roof form and insertion of two rooflights in front roofslope. (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

The Clapton CAAC objects to the proposal. Whilst we welcome the reinstatement of the bonnet cap, the effective hip-to-gable conversion is opposed as it spoils the roof form and disrupts the established rhythm.

2019/1159 23 Norcott Road N16 7EJ Prior notification of a larger rear extension: Extension would be 4.5m deep, 2.9m high and with an unknown eaves height. (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

The Clapton CAAC points out that houses in Conservation Areas, such as is the case here, do not benefit from Permitted Development rights in relation to larger rear extensions.

2019/0706 Flat A 217 Evering Road E5 8AL Replacing existing window and door with wider doors; reducing parapet; replacing timber balustrade and gate with metal railings and gate. (Jeni Cowan 020 8356 1371)

No drawings or application form are offered on the Council's website for this application, making it impossible to asses.

2019/1251 and 2019/1255 Flat 1 17 Clapton Terrace E5 9BW Replacing a dilapidated cast iron fence to the front of the property, paving the front lightwell with Yorkstone, replacing the front door with a new door of an appropriate character and removing the existing modern security grill, replacing existing modern security shutters with internal period timber shutters, adding internal secondary glazing to the front windows, adding radiators as part of a central heating system, and adding a boiler flue to the side elevation. It is also proposed to restore the existing internal glazed timber screen, re-glaze this with reeded glass for privacy, and replace the non-original internal door with a traditional glazed door to match. (Jeni Cowan 020 8356 1371)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/1396 34-36 Filey Avenue (Garages) 36 Filey Avenue N16 6JJ Demolition of existing three garages and erection of a two storey two bedroom house. (Jeni Cowan 020 8356 1371)

The Clapton CAAC notes that whilst this is an improvement on the refused scheme, and the dwelling has a better relationship to its neighbours, the fortress-like boundary undoes much of the improvement by presenting a high, solid wall to the streetscape which lacks any of the articulation or rhythm of the garages. A more modest boundary treatment is needed for this scheme to be acceptable.

2019/0715 Fawcett Estate Clapton Common E5 9AU Replacement of timber windows with PVCu windows (Rosewood external, white internal) (Kim Aukett 020 8356 4740)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/1152 13 Forburg Road N16 6HP Erection of a single storey rear extension with a large roof light (Kim Aukett 020 8356 4740)

The Clapton CAAC objects to the proposed extension which is far in excess of 3m stipulated by guidance, without any justification.

2019/1232 90 Osbaldeston Road N16 6NL The provision of a dormer extension to the rear of the existing roof to allow for the formation of a room in the loft space, and the addition of three roof lights to the front of the existing roof. (Kim Aukett 020 8356 4740)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/0576 103 Osbaldeston Road N16 6NP Erection of a rear dormer extension with raised roof light above, front bay bonnet roof extension and installation of front and side rooflights (Louise Prew)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/1315 358 Mare Street E8 1HR Erection of a two-storey rear extension to provide enlarged ancillary accommodation to first and second floor, new front door to form new residneital access; new shopfront to rear and side, blocking up of side door and new ground floor side window (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal overall but questions if it is appropriate to reinstate a Victorian style shopfront without addressing the rest of the elevation and replacing the windows in a similar style. Relatedly, the attempt to match the window style on the proposed extension seems misplaced.

2019/1126 8 A Mildenhall Road E5 0RU Erection of a rear roof extension to facilitate a loft conversion and two rooflights on front slope. (Richard Kealey 020 8356 6469)

No comment

2019/1171 201 Brooke Road E5 8AB Erection of a dormer to facilitate a loft conversion to the rear with 4 rooflights on the front slope. Insertation of glazing at first floor level on roof. (Richard Kealey 020 8356 6469)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposed dormer but objects to the number of rooflights on the front roof slope which should be reduced to two as per para 3.84 of the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD.

2019/1140 15 Hogan Way E5 8RF Erection of a rear dormer extension with a Succah roof. (Richard Kealey 020 8356 6469)

No comment

2019/1318 52 Forburg Road N16 6HT Erection of a single storey rear extension. (Richard Kealey 020 8356 6469)

The Clapton CAAC notes the proposed 4m extension is in excess of the 3m limit in guidance, without relevant justification and in any event should be limited to the same depth as the adjacent neighbours. If consented, a condition should ensure that 2019/1318 and 2018/1321 cannot be built together as the cumulative effect would constitute an excessive mass.

2019/1320 52 Forburg Road N16 6HT Erection of a rear dormer. (Richard Kealey 020 8356 6469)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2019/1321 52 Forburg Road N16 6HT Erection of a single rear infill extension. (Richard Kealey 020 8356 6469)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal and feel this is preferable to 2019/1318. A condition should ensure that 2019/1318 and 2018/1321 cannot be built together as the cumulative effect would constitute an excessive mass.

2019/1028 89-91 Osbaldeston Road N16 6NP Joint planning application for the erection of rear ground floor extension at 89 and 91 Osbaldeston Road. Additionaly, amalgamation of two flats at No.91 to create a single family dwelling. (Richard Kealey 020 8356 6469)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal provided planners are satisfied this does not facilitate a change of use or a more intensive ancillary use now or in the future.

2019/1254 39 Norcott Road N16 7EJ Excavation at basement level to provide front lightwell with new external access. Internal reconfigurations at basement level. (Richard Kealey 020 8356 6469)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.
