[The application seeks to change the appearance of the approved extension] (Raymond Okot 020 8356 8080)

We have no objection in principle, but feel that the applicants should submit details of the proposed windows for scrutiny both by the KCAAC and the planning officer before this application is granted.

Existing first floor window opening to be extended to FFL to form roof terrace entrance door. (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

No objection

2018/1852 19-23 Kingsland Road E2 8AA Variation of condition 2 (approved drawings) and 3 (materials) of planning permission 2017/1499 dated 08/06/2017 for 'Erection of a single storey roof extension; erection of a 6 storey rear extension; erection of a 5 storey external staircase and provision of cycle storage facilities at ground floor level'. Effect of variation would be to omit rear stair and infill this area and minor revisions to fenestration. (Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

No documents on line, deadline for comments extended to 20 September.

2018/2443 167-169 Kingsland Road E2 8AL Variation of condition 2 (approved drawings) of planning permission 2008/0735 dated 21/06/2011 for 'Demolition of existing building and erection of a replacement six storey building to provide a doctors and dentist surgery (D1) at ground floor (918 sq m) and 9 residential flats (C3) above (4 x 2, 4 x 3 and 1 x 4 bed units).' Effect of variation would be to change window and balcony designs, alter external materials, increase height of building, alteratrions to building footprint and to introduce plant to the roof. (Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

We object to the proposed dark brick, which we feel would be overbearing, and rather 1980's in style. We also feel that the original proposal was much more attractive in elevation: that the design of both the fenestration and the roofline was more cohesive. The revised scheme has become much more bulky. We also object to the large curved vent on the roof, which we feel should be more unobtrusive.

2018/2200 Flats A + B 429 Kingsland Road E8 4AU Internal reconfiguration of flats 429 A & 429 B, new rear windows and replacement of door and window with bifolding doors and new external rear staircase and increase in height of boundary wall. (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

We object to this application, given that in the Conservation Area, any replacement windows for a Victorian property should be in timber, and not uPVC.

2018/2692 Kingsgate Tower Block Kingsate Estate 79 - 122 Tottenham Road N1 4AU Replacement of Antenna telecoms equipment at roof level (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

No objection

2018/2319 35 Northchurch Road N1 4ED Erection of single-storey rear extension at lower ground floor level following demolition of existing single-storey rear extension; external alterations including replacement of windows; erection of extension to detached outbuilding in rear garden; removal of tree and hard and soft landscaping to front and rear gardens. [Note for consultation: Application for Listed Building Consent 2018/2380 also received] (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

We have no objection to the proposed single storey rear extension to the house. We do however object to this application on the basis of both footprint and elevation of the proposed larger garden studio. It results in a building which is both too large and much too tall. The bulky building will sit uncomfortably against No. 46 Ufton Road. We feel that this adversely affects the setting of a Listed Building, and is not enhancing the streetscape of the Conservation Area.

2018/2380 35 Northchurch Road N1 4ED Erection of single-storey rear extension at lower ground floor level following demolition of existing single-storey rear extension; Erection of extension to detached outbuilding in rear garden; internal and external alterations including lowering of floor level at lower ground floor rear, insulation to front lower ground floor, replacement windows and doors, replacement rainwater goods, replacement of cornices and repairs to boundary walls. [Note for consultation: Application for planning permission 2018/2319 also received] (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

as above

2018/1775 5 Orchard Mews N1 5BS Erection of single storey side extension (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

We object to this application. This is a very tightly designed, uniform development, and this proposal does not blend in well. The proposed extension looks a little mean: the head of the glazing to the extension should be higher, to align to the head of the glazing of the main building. The pitch of the roof of the proposed extension should also be at the same angle as that of the main roof. We also feel that the rear elevation of the proposed extension should be set back slightly from the main elevation, in order to be subservient, and should not be angled. The drawings are very poor, and appear inconsistent amongst themselves, presenting a confused proposal.

2018/2519 2-4 Orsman Road N1 5QJ Erection of a 5-storey building to provide commercial floorspace (Use Class B1) at ground, first and second floors with 4 residential units (Use Class C3) at third and fourth floors; associated development including landscaping and cycle and refuse stores. [Note for consultation: Dwelling mix would be 2 x 1-bed, 2 x 2-bed] (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

We commend the addition of a path along the canal joining the two courtyard areas, but we object on the basis that the building itself does not in any way respect the local character of the area. It has lost any of the sense of intimacy of the current area of small studios, and should actually be part of this complex rather than rising high out of it. We feel that it should be a maximum of three storeys tall, and set back to allow for planting.

2018/2449 6 Southgate Grove N1 5BT Demolition of existing front garden brick pier and timber fence and erection of a wrought iron fence and gate; replacement of front and rear timber framed windows with double glazed timber windows (Raymond Okot 020 8356 8080)

We have no objection to this application but would comment as follows: on the illustration of the proposed railing finial, the measurement is given as 15mm: presumably this should be 15 cm. We also feel that there should be a back stay behind the railings where they meet the gate, and if necessary in the middle of the run of railings. We would also note that there is no detail with regard to the thickness or spacing of the railings.

2018/2317 Flat C 6 Stamford Road N1 4JS New glass structure at roof level for access. (Micheal Garvey 020 8356 8053)

No objection

2018/1939 95 Tottenham Road N1 4EA Demolition of existing single-storey rear extension and erection of part single- and part two-storey rear extension at ground and first floor levels; associated landscaping. (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

We feel that the almost full length windows of the proposed first floor rear extension are completely out of keeping with the style of these houses, and will encourage use of the roof of the ground floor extension as a roof terrace. This would result in considerable overlooking into the adjoining properties. We would note also that there was no Design and Access Statement.

2018/2471 99 Tottenham Road N1 4EA Erection of part single, part two storey rear extensions, erection of two storey side extension, internal alterations to merge two dwellings into one, elevational alterations, and installation of front railings. (Raymond Okot 020 8356 8080)

We object to the proposed single storey infill extension at the rear, which is turning the ground floor extension into one of the full width of the house. We feel that this excessive, as the house has already been considerably extended (more than the size of the original footprint), and the proposed extension appears to produce a space that is not of great use.

2018/2111 138 Tottenham Road N1 4DY Prior Approval for a larger homes extension for the construction of a ground floor rear extension with a depth of 5.13m, eaves height of 3.15m and a maximum height of 3.15m. (Graham Callam 020 8356 8275)
