Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2023/0091 14 Clapton Square, E5 8HP Replacement of existing windows together with roof coverings, fascias, soffits and rainwater goods (in association with listed building consent 2023/0097) Full Planning Permission [Application Refuse] (James Clark)

2023/0097 14 Clapton Square, E5 8HP Listed building consent for the replacement of existing windows together with roof coverings, fascias, soffits and rainwater goods (in association full planning application 2023/0091). Listed Building Consent [Application Refuse] (James Clark)

2023/0205 19 Alconbury Road, E5 8RG Proposed works: Single-storey rear extension; and the addition of two rooflights on the front roof slope. Householder Planning (Jessica Neeve)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2023/0115 Spandeli, 246 Dalston Lane, E8 1JG Display of a non-illuminated advertising hoarding measuring 3m x 1.8m on the eastern facade of the building. Advertisement Consent [Application Refuse] (Alix Hauser)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application. We would reiterate the core of our objection to the refused application 2022/2640 and support the Officer's decision to refuse permission. Although this hoarding is smaller than that of 2022/2640 it is inappropriate in so prominent a site. There will be no control of the images or colours on the hoarding. Catching the eye (the purpose of advertising) will diminish the long perspective towards Amhurst Road.

2023/0156 50d Amhurst Road, E8 1JH Erection of a single storey roof extension. Householder Planning [Application Refuse] (Catherine Nichol)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application, seconding the pre-application advice that it is 'not right in principle'. A prominent second -floor extension in silver cladding with black rubber (which has a tendency to blister) visible to the public neither maintains nor enhances the built environment.

2022/3027 107-117 & 133-141 Morning Lane, E9 6LH Alterations to access arrangements and associated alterations to the elevations including formation of covered entrances; widening of fire escape doors of 107-117 Morning Lane to create a second entrance on Churchwell Path; Relocation of fire escape door on Hackney Walk to new entrance on Link Street at 133-141 Morning Lane. Full Planning Permission (Thomas Russell)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application in so far as it concerns the Morning Lane entrance. We consider that users of the entrance will be in danger. Morning Lane leading from St John's churchyard is a pedestrian way which is increasingly used by fast-ridden bicycles and scooters. Members of the CAAC committee have found themselves at risk from thoughtless riders speeding down the lane. To increase footfall onto the Lane would be folly.

2022/2912 85 Cazenove Road, N16 6BB Erection of a single-storey rear extension at ground floor level to the rear of the existing Synagogue (Use Class F) and installation of cycle storage within the front garden. Full Planning Permission (Alix Hauser)

Clapton CAAC strongly objects to this application. An earlier application sought permission for a ground-floor extension stretching 11.579 metres (subsequently somewhat reduced). Permission was granted under 2022/0676 for a five-metre extension. This was already two metres more than is stipulated in the SPD Guidelines. The applicants have a strange understanding of the word 'just' when they write in the D&A: 'Given that this proposal is just an additional 5 metres to the rear'. Their 'just' is a doubling of the already-generous permitted 5 metres and is creeping inexorably towards their original application for an extension of 11.579 metres. Such a length will detract from the amenity of its neighbours, particularly the flats to the east though perhaps less so to the school on the western boundary. A further objection lies in the absence of a tree report. In answer to the question on the Application Form: 'Are there trees or hedges on the development site?' the applicant has ticked 'No'. This is a false statement. There are mature trees on the site which would likely be harmed by the proposed extension. This is an application that should be refused.

2023/0119 1b Braydon Road, N16 6QL Erection of single-storey front extension at first floor level and erection of a single-storey roof extension to create a second floor. Full Planning Permission (Alix Hauser)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application on two grounds: the wall proposed fronting Braydon Road is blank and overbearing in height; and the use of the building will generate traffic - and parking - in a narrow residential street.

2022/2910 59 Maury Road, N16 7BT Proposed replacement of the existing slate tile roof with the installation of a like-for-like roof. This includes new felt insulation, like-for-like replacement of the timber fascias, soffits, and new rainwater goods. Full Planning Permission (Jonathan Bainbridge)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon Housing's careful maintenance of its housing stock through use of traditional materials.

2023/0125 33 Osbaldeston Road, N16 7DJ ??Demolition of existing structures, excavation to extend the existing basement with rear lightwell, the erection of a ground floor rear and side wraparound extension with sukkah roof, and front lightwell. Householder Planning [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Raymond Okot)

Clapton CAAC questions whether the present outrigger has already been extended (as it appears by comparison with other houses in the street) and therefore whether the proposal will exceed the Guidelines for rear extensions. The demolition of the two Sukkots is to be welcomed, though they are themselves temporary structures intended to be be erected for seven days only before being dismantled.

2022/1848 57 Osbaldeston Road, N16 7DL Erection of rear dormer; installation of 2x front rooflights Householder Planning (Thomas Russell)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application which manages to destroy the roof line of the host building both front and rear. The extension sits on the roof like a cabin when seen from the rear and sticks out at the front, completely destroying the slope of the roof when viewed from the street. It does the opposite of either maintaining or enhancing. This proposal is very like that of 2022/2180 which was refused. We would echo Mr Okot's reasoning: 'The proposed development, by virtue of its siting, scale and mass and architectural features is not acceptable in design, heritage and amenity terms and does not comply with the residential extensions and alterations SPD, the CA appraisal document, policies LP1, LP2 and LP3 of Hackney's Local Plan LP33, in addition to The National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The application is recommended for refusal on these grounds.'

2023/0140 10 Fountayne Road, N16 7DX Proposed works: Loft conversion, including the installation of four new roof lights. Householder Planning [Application Granted - Extra Conditions] (Jessica Neeve)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2023/0149 10 Fountayne Road, N16 7DX Proposed works: The demolition of the existing rear conservatory; the erection of a rear extension at ground floor; and the replacement of all windows on the front and rear elevations. Householder Planning [Application Granted - Extra Conditions] (Jessica Neeve)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2023/0108 45 Brooke Road, N16 7RA Replacement of existing single glazed timber sash and casement windows with timber double glazed window units. Proposed replacement of existing slate tile roofing with new felt insulation, fascias, soffits and natural slate roof finish. Replacement of rainwater goods with like-for like goods.
