2023/0690 Canalside Housing Partnership, 240a Kingsland Road, E2 8AX Erection of a single-storey conservatory at basement level Full Planning Permission (Thomas Russell)

We object to this application, the proposal will have a detrimental effect on the building as a whole and will be very visible from the canal walk.

2023/0519 Museum Of The Home, 136 Kingsland Road, E2 8EA Renewal of internal finishes and remodelling of services within two existing education rooms for conversion into a flexible temporary exhibition space; creation of two new internal door openings and upgrading of two existing door openings; two external rainwater pipes and replacement of gutter; new drainage run and installation of two rainwater harvesting butts; replacement of two single external glazed doors with double glazed doors; addition of two external louvres; re-landscaping of sloped bank to create new tiered garden; renewal of external light fittings; addition of two external steel gates. Listed Building Consent (Gerard Livett)

No objection.

2023/0431 Shearsby Newsagents, 402 Kingsland Road, E8 4AA Installation of a new access door Full Planning Permission (Raymond Okot)

We object to the uPVC door. A more appropriate format would be a six panelled wooden door with a glass fan light.

2023/0520 408 Kingsland Road, E8 4AA Erection of mansard roof extension to the existing three storey rear extension to provide enlarged ancillary accommodation Full Planning Permission (Micheal Garvey)

We object to the proposed mansard roof extension which would set a precedent for the adjoining properties. We are also concerned about the effect on daylight levels for the original house and its neighbours on Kingsland Road and the property behind on Glebe Road.

2023/0620 Anadolu Kasap, 410 Kingsland Road, E8 4AA Relocation of 2x external A/C condenser units at roof level and encasement of the condenser units inside of an acoustic enclosure Full Planning Permission (Thomas Russell)

We have no objection provided that the equipment in the proposed new location has no effect on the neighbouring property.

2023/0365 Base Pizza, 460 Kingsland Road, E8 4AE Extension of existing basement (sui generis) and subdivision of existing property into 3x takeaway restaurants (sui generis) and 3 x shops (use class E). Replacement of flat roof over existing conservatory and insertion of 4 x slim frame skylights Full Planning Permission (Catherine Nichol)

We think that this is a ludicrous proposal and we strongly object.

2023/0416 Hoxton Halal Co, 535 - 537 Kingsland Road, E8 4AR Installation of 1x externally illuminated fascia sign; Installation of 1x non-illuminated projecting sign; Installation of internal signage including shopfront vinyl graphics and internal wall graphics; alterations to shopfront; installation of intake and extractor flue; internal alterations (AMENDED) Advertisement Consent (Thomas Russell)

We have no objection to this application but we regret that the applicant is not replacing the uPVC doors with white painted timber doors which would be more appropriate in the Conservation Area.

2023/0405 11-13 Glebe Road, E8 4BD Construction of roof terrace at third floor rear with 1.8m obscured glazed screen Full Planning Permission (Micheal Garvey)

We have no objection in principle but we ask that the specification of the glass with regards to its obscurity be provided.

2023/0641 59 Englefield Road, N1 4HD Replacement of existing single glazed timber framed windows with double glazed timber framed windows. Householder Planning (Jonathan Bainbridge)

We are concerned at the lack of detail in this application. No dimensions are provided and non-integral glazing bars should have no place in the Conservation Area.

2023/0578 The Old Garage, 119a Mortimer Road, N1 4JY Erection of first floor rear extension and internal rearrangements. Householder Planning (Erin Glancy)

We don't object to the proposed extension but we do object to the design of the window. We would like to see a window as witnessed on adjacent houses.

2023/0579 The Old Garage, 119a Mortimer Road, N1 4JY Proposed ground floor front extension, roof terrace, facade alteration, floor plan redesign, and all associated works at 119a Mortimer Road , N1 4JY Householder Planning (Erin Glancy)

No objection.

2023/0500 8-10 De Beauvoir Square, N1 4LG Works at no. 9 comprising the removal of external store; erection of single storey rear extension; internal alterations; replacement screen and gate to the side of the property; re-tiling of roof with natural slate and installation of conservation rooflight; replacement front door, alterations to side fenestration at lower ground floor; erection of a cycle store; alterations to boundary treatment along shared boundary with no. 8. Works to no. 10 comprising re-tiling of roof with natural slate (AMENDED) Full Planning Permission (Thomas Russell)

We do not object to the proposed extension but we do object to the size and style of the lantern roof light. We should prefer to see a single sheet inclined roof light which is smaller in scale. We also object to the roof light on the main house because of its relation to the chimney and the detailing to the return roof. Furthermore it will be visible in the long views from the Square. We also object to the fact that the kitchen wall oversales the rear of number 10 which has a detrimental effect on the existing facade.

2023/0506 8-10 De Beauvoir Square, N1 4LG Works at no. 9 comprising the removal of external store; erection of single storey rear extension; internal alterations; replacement screen and gate to the side of the property; re-tiling of roof with natural slate and installation of conservation rooflight; replacement front door, alterations to side fenestration at lower ground floor; erection of a cycle store; alterations to boundary treatment along shared boundary with no. 8.

2023/0347 Flat 15, Dorset Court Hertford Road, N1 4SD Proposed works: Installation of double doors on the rear elevation. Full Planning Permission (Jessica Neeve)

No objection

2022/3021 87 - 95 Hertford Road, N1 5AG Reduction in height of boundary walls including those with grade 2 listed houses facing onto De Beauvoir Square. Associated with planning permission 2009/2842 dated 30/06/2020 Listed Building Consent (Thomas Russell)

We object to the application. The applicant has not demonstrated the effect on the surrounding listed buildings of reducing the wall height.

2023/0638 7 Enfield Road, N1 5EN Installation of a decking area and metal railing to the frontage of existing café/restaurant to form an outdoor dining area- retrospective Full Planning Permission (Micheal Garvey)

We are disappointed that this unattractive addition has been erected as part of the café. We are concerned about the various changes of level which constitute a serious trip hazard and pose accessibility issues.

2023/0528 76 Southgate Road, N1 3JD Variation of condition 2 (approved plans) pursuant to planning permission 2021/1831 dated 09/08/2021. The effect of the variation will be to increase the height of the approved rear extension Removal/Variation of Condition(s) (Thomas Russell)

We don't object to this application but we have serious concerns that the works so far are not in accordance with the approved plans. The boundary wall with Ufton Road has been demolished despite an amendment to the original application to not simply demolish but repair in sections as necessary.
