Kingsland CAAC November 2021

Planning Applications for Kingsland CAAC meeting for November 2021

2021/2954 68 Ufton Road, N1 4HH Replacement of existing garage door with new double doorset (in order to facilitate the conversion of integral garage space to internal study area) Householder Planning [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Raymond Okot)

We have no objection in principle to this application but think that the proposed double doors and associated glazing are not in keeping with the architecture of the building.

2021/2519 10 Deacon Mews, N1 3HZ Construction of single storey ground floor rear extension, replacement of patio door and window with double doors and new rear window. Householder Planning [Application Refuse] (Micheal Garvey)

We have no objection to this application although there is little detail on the materials to be used. However we are concerned at how the proposed additional large window at landing level may impact on the neighbours.

2021/2447 Downham Wharf, 28 Hertford Road, N1 5QT Replacement of existing cladding and building facades to all elevations of Norway House and Downham Wharf. Full Planning Permission [Application Granted] (Alix Hauser)

We note that, although examples of the replacement cladding systems are given, the exact products have yet to be confirmed. We trust that Hackney Planning will have oversight of the final choice and will exercise due diligence on both materials and companies involved in the installation. We also trust that the planting and overall wildlife habitat is carefully protected during the cladding replacement works.

2021/2446 305 Kingsland Road, E8 4EG Replacement of existing cladding and building facades to all elevations of Canal Wharf and Commercial Wharf. Full Planning Permission [Application Granted] (Alix Hauser)

We note that, although examples of the replacement cladding systems are given, the exact products have yet to be confirmed. We trust that Hackney Planning will have oversight of the final choice and will exercise due diligence on both materials and companies involved in the installation. We also trust that the planting and overall wildlife habitat is carefully protected during the cladding replacement works.

2021/2462 11 De Beauvoir Square, N1 4LD Replacement of the existing timber windows with slim line double glazed timber windows and replacement of rear doors Full Planning Permission [Application Granted - Standard Conditions] (Danny Huber)

No objection.

2021/2698 Flat A, 19 De Beauvoir Square, N1 4LD Erection of a single storey lower ground floor extension; replacement of rear windows at lower ground floor level Full Planning Permission (Danny Huber)

We have no objection in principle to the proposals. However we are concerned about the effect of light spill from the roof light on the proposed extension on the window of the flat above. We also note that no details have been provided for the modifications to the bin store.

2021/2707 Flat A, 19 De Beauvoir Square, N1 4LD Erection of a single storey lower ground floor extension; replacement of rear windows at lower ground floor level; replacement of front door; internal alterations Listed Building Consent (Danny Huber)

We have no objection in principle to the proposals. However we are concerned about the effect of light spill from the roof light on the proposed extension on the window of the flat above. We also note that no details have been provided for the modifications to the bin store.

2021/1322 110 Kingsland Road, E2 8DP Erection of a two storey rear extension to provide 1 x 2 bedroom flat, new entrance door to ground floor rear and refuse/cycling storage to ground floor rear. Full Planning Permission (Micheal Garvey)

We strongly object to this application. The proposed extension will result in a dramatic loss of amenity to the existing flats. Their living room windows would face directly on to a brick wall some 2 metres away and the residents will suffer a considerable loss of light.

2021/2758 22d Stamford Road, N1 4JS Replacement of existing single glazed timber windows with new double glazed timber windows to front, rear and side elevations. Replacement of existing front entrance doors with new doors. Full Planning Permission (Micheal Garvey)

This is not a locally listed building nor is it located in the London Borough of Islington as suggested in the D&A. We have no objection in principle but the application states that the replacement doors will match the existing, however the drawings indicate otherwise. We should like to see a plain door rather than the panelled version displayed in the drawings. This would be more in keeping with the period of the building. It is stated on the drawing of the proposed double glazed casement window that the glazing bars will be stuck on with double sided tape and we question whether this will be sufficiently durable.

2021/2764 22a Stamford Road, N1 4JS Replacement of existing single glazed timber windows with new double glazed timber windows to front and rear elevations. Replacement of existing front entrance doors with new doors. Full Planning Permission (Micheal Garvey)

2021/3085 146 Culford Road, N1 4HU Alterations to existing rear and side extensions at lower and upper ground floor levels; change to front door; raising of side extension parapet height; replacement of all existing sash windows with new double-glazed timber sash windows; addition of rooflight to first floor rear terrace; repositioning and enlargement of 2 rooflights to the side extension; replacement of the existing rooflight to the main butterfly roof with a new rooflight; provision of refuse and cycle storage in front garden. Householder Planning (Gerard Livett)

We object to this application on several grounds. The house has already been extended and the proposed garden room would be a further addition; although we are aware that many of the houses in this section of Culford Road have been further extended and the gardens are very long. At the upper floor the increased width of the playroom to create the master bedroom results in an extension that is more than half the width of the original house and its existing side addition. This is in contravention of the recommendations in the De Beauvoir Design Guide. We are also concerned that the proposed corner window of the new master bedroom and the extended terrace will faciltate southerly overlooking of the neighbour's patio. The proposed front door should be panelled to match others in the road. The pre-cast coping over the proposed tax window looks incongruous, the proportions and positioning of the new window and the attempt to match the narrow coping on 148A result in an unharmonious addition to the property. The applicant has not provided details of the proposed cycle and bin store in the front garden.
