Clapton CAAC March 2023

Planning Applications for Clapton CAAC meeting for 16 March 2023

2023/0148 179 Chatsworth Road, E5 0LA Erection of two-storey building to provide three-bedroom dwellinghouse on land fronting Fletching Road Full Planning Permission [Application Refuse] (Gerard Livett)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application. Although as a design the proposal is acceptably within a contemporary style, it does not complement its setting. Its use of metal cladding - particularly on the rear elevation - and the dominant size of the front windows do not harmonise with the two types of older terrace - either the more elaborate Edwardian one on Chatsworth Road or the simpler style on Fletching Road. Additionally, it occupies virtually the complete back garden in contravention of the 50% rule and blocks the sightline along the back of the terrace when seen from South Millfields playing field.

2023/0394 Flat A, 188 Lower Clapton Road, E5 0QA Proposed replacement of the existing single-glazed timber casement windows with uPVC double-glazed windows on the ground floor. Full Planning Permission (Jonathan Bainbridge)

While the short description on the Hackney website refers to the ereplacement with uPVC, the D&A statement specifies wooden sashes. Clapton CAAC suppports the timber replacement but would strongly object to uPVC as contrary to Hackney policy.

2022/2733 163 Brooke Road, E5 8AG Installation of air source heat pump in front garden. Householder Planning [Application Grant] (Erin Glancy)

The unit itself is acceptable in size and if sufficiently dampened for sound would be acceptable. We draw your attention to the guarded nature of the Noise Report which did not conifdently assure the Council that the suppressed noise levels would be guaranteed. We support the submission made by the Hackney Society that Hackney should decide on a policy for heat-exchange units particularly when proposed for the front of buildings. Clearly there will be more such applications which should not be left to ad hoc determinations.

2023/0393 206 Evering Road, E5 8AJ Replacement of the existing single-glazed timber sash and casement windows with timber-framed double glazed windows across front and rear elevations at ground-floor level Full Planning Permission (Thomas Russell)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0403 232 Evering Road, E5 8AJ Proposed replacement of the existing single-glazed timber sash and casement windows with new Timber double-glazed windows on the second floor. Full Planning Permission (Jonathan Bainbridge)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0287 185 Evering Road, E5 8AN Replacement of the existing single glazed timber sash and casement windows with new timber double glazed windows. Full Planning Permission (Raymond Okot)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0411 187 Lower Clapton Road, E5 8EG Installation of extraction system and associated flue on the rear of the building. Full Planning Permission [Application Grant] (James Clark)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application on grounds that the top of the flue breaks the rooflline when viewed from Downs Road.

2023/0310 38 Clarence Road, E5 8HB Removal of shopfront and replace with new front windows and front door Full Planning Permission [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Micheal Garvey)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2023/0240 5 Clapton Passage, E5 8HS Construction of a rear roof extension. Householder Planning [Application Grant] (James Clark)

Clapton CAAC strongly objects to this aplication. This was a family home converted into an HMO without permission and which is seeking further expansion. Neighbours have suffered invasion of privacy at the rear of the property and this would be aggravated by the proposed rear extension with its flat roof and the possibility of its being used as a platform. The rear extension is out of keeping with others in the terrace. The roof lights at the front of the house look into houses on the opposite side of the Passage, infringing the right to privacy of householders there. Beyond that, the plans are inadequate and there is no D&A statement.

2023/0402 3 Narford Road, E5 8RJ Proposed works: Replacement of all windows on the front, rear and side elevation with new timber double glazed units. Full Planning Permission (Jessica Neeve)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0373 43 & 45 Narford Road, E5 8RJ Proposed works: Replacement of selected windows on the front, rear and side elevation with new timber double glazed units. Full Planning Permission (Jessica Neeve)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0395 134 Lea Bridge Road, E5 9RB Replacement of existing single glazed timber sash windows across front elevation with timber-framed double-glazed windows Full Planning Permission (Thomas Russell)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2022/3051 Glory Phone, 377 Mare Street, E8 1HY Erection of two-storey rear extension at first and second floor levels; erection of mansard-style roof extension; conversion of extended upper floors into two self-contained dwellings accessed from Gould Terrace Full Planning Permission [Application Refuse] (Gerard Livett)

Clapton CAAC objects to this applicaton. The planning documents are lacking. While there is an existing Front Elevation there is no drawing of the Proposed Front Elevation. Judging from the Section, the proposal takes its height from its taller neighbour which is a building of a radically different style and size rather than from its neighbour to the right which is of the same style and lower in a terrace run of three similar buildings. The proposed mansard is over dominant.

2023/0257 48 Sutton Square, E9 6EQ Proposed loft conversion and installation of No.2 rooflights to the front elevation and No.3 rooflights to the rear elevation. Householder Planning [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Alishba Emanuel)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application - as we have to its forerunner. Our objection remains that the roofs of the entire square are uniformly of slate unpunctured by roof lights. To permit roof lights would break the harmonious continuity of line and set an unfortunate precedent. The proposed rear roof lights will will be able to overlook the upper floors of neighbouring houses thereby affecting the amenity of their occupants.

2023/0231 27 Forburg Road, N16 6HP Erection of a single storey rear extension at ground floor level; rear infill extension at basement floor level with steps to the garden. Householder Planning [Application Granted - Extra Conditions] (Thomas Russell)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2023/0338 40 Chardmore Road, N16 6JH Erection of a side/rear extension at lower ground floor level. Householder Planning (Danny Huber)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application.

2023/0123 First Floor And Second Floor Flat, 38 Alkham Road, N16 7AA Installation of 3x front rooflights and 2 x rear rooflights, following the removal of 1 front rooflight. Full Planning Permission (Danny Huber)

Clapton CAAC objects to this applicaton. To have five roof lights in the front elevation is three too many. The D&A statement claims that the proposed are 'similar in size and scale to the neighbouring propoerty'. What it fails to say is that they exceed the number of front lights in similar houses. Similarly, the matching two lights in the rear roof slope above the retained current dormer are excessive.

2023/0274 122 Evering Road, N16 7BD Replacement of the existing single glazed timber sash windows with new timber double glazed windows Full Planning Permission (Raymond Okot)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0351 147 Evering Road, N16 7BL Proposed replacement of the existing single glazed timber sash and casement windows with new timber double glazed window units. Full Planning Permission [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Alishba Emanuel)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0288 57 Maury Road, N16 7BT Proposed works: Selected windows on the front, rear and side elevation to be replaced with new timber double glazed units. Full Planning Permission (Jessica Neeve)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0291 58 Maury Road, N16 7BT Proposed works: Replacement of selected windows on the front, rear and side elevation with new timber double glazed units. Full Planning Permission (Jessica Neeve)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0113 83 Maury Road, N16 7BT Excavation front and rear light wells, to provide two additional HMO rooms at basement level. Full Planning Permission [Application Refuse] (Catherine Nichol)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application. Although the proposal to convert the basement does not seek to extend the footprint of the house, the rear lightwell will not provide sufficient light to the room given that the lightwell is tucked in behind and overshadowed by the one-storey rear extension. We question, too, whether the front lightwell will permit sufficient light into the bedroom.

2023/0368 69 Maury Road, N16 7BT Proposed replacement two of the existing single glazed timber sash windows with timber double glazed windows. Full Planning Permission (Jonathan Bainbridge)

Clapton CAAC welcomes Newlon's proposed renovation work employing traditional materials.

2023/0273 129 Evering Road, N16 7BU Replacement of the existing single glazed timber sash and casement windows with new timber double glazed windows. Full Planning Permission [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Raymond Okot)

2023/0239 Flat 1, 31 Fountayne Road, N16 7EA Erection of a single storey ground floor rear extension Full Planning Permission [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Danny Huber)

Clapton CAAC objects to this application. There is no D&A and the proposal seeks to erect an extension of 3.7 metres which is in excess of the Guidelines.

2023/0378 23 Stoke Newington Common, N16 7ER Proposed erection of a single storey ground floor rear extension and replacement of existing uPVC windows with timber sash style windows. Replacement front door with traditional moulded timber door. Householder Planning [Application Refuse] (Alishba Emanuel)

Clapton CAAC has no objection to this application - though we wonder whether the extension is more than three metres from the host building.
