Kingsland CAAC October 2023

Planning Applications for Kingsland CAAC meeting for 2 October 2023

2023/1951 First Floor Flat, 134e Kingsland Road, E2 8DY Placement of air condition condenser units on rear extension roof along with associated works. Full Planning Permission (James Clark)

We object to this application. It is unlikely that the condensers will only operate during the stated hours and the noise report does not cover operating conditions outside these times. There are no drawings and data for the proposed accoustic enclosures. There is also an, as yet undecided, planning application for an extraction vent on the rear of the building and this is not shown on the current drawings. We are concerned about the potential noise from both sets of equipment and the cummulative effect on the residents in the flats above and next door.

2023/2154 436 Kingsland Road, E8 4AA Erection of free-standing, illuminated advertising unit measuring 1.6m x 0.9m Advertisement Consent (Matthew Hollins)

We object to this application. The removal of the earlier version has reduced the street clutter and enabled clearer sight lines down the road. Installation of a new advertising unit which has a larger footprint being mounted on a solid podium rather than a stalk is a retrograde step. The display which has the ability to sequentially change every 10 seconds would cause a potentially dangerous distraction to passing motorists and cyclists so close to the street crossing.

2023/2145 The Fox, 370 Kingsland Road, E8 4DA Display of double sided freestanding advertisement panel with LED digital display measuring 2.73m high and 1.38m wide Advertisement Consent (Thomas Russell)

We object to this application. The removal of the earlier version has reduced the street clutter and enabled clearer sight lines down the road. Installation of a new advertising unit which has a larger footprint being mounted on a solid podium rather than a stalk is a retrograde step. The display which has the ability to sequentially change every 10 seconds would cause a potentially dangerous distraction to passing motorists and cyclists so close to the street crossing.

2023/2055 Trade Price Catering, 325 Kingsland Road, E8 4DL Change of use of the first, second and third floors from Use Class E to Bed and Breakfast accommodation (C1). Full Planning Permission (James Clark)

We object to this application on the grounds that the accommodation is unsuitable for the proposed number of people. There is no provision for a private life. We also note that the recent alterations to the building to create a mansard roof have not been in accordance with the submitted plans.

2023/1879 Former, 5 - 6 Lee Street, E8 4DY Erection of rear extensions at second and third floor levels; conversion of second and third floors to provide two self-contained dwellings; provision of roof terrace with screening Full Planning Permission (Gerard Livett)

We strongly object to what we consider to be the overdevelopment of the site. The proposed roof terrace and the increase in bulk will have a detrimental effect on No. 4 and the adjacent properties.

2023/2167 75 De Beauvoir Road, N1 4EL Repainting of front and side doors (light blue); replacement of timber French doors in rear elevation with steel doors Householder Planning (Gerard Livett)

No objection

2023/2172 75 De Beauvoir Road, N1 4EL External works: Repainting of front and side doors (light blue); replacement of timber French doors in rear elevation with steel doors; Internal alterations including Replacement of lower ground floor covering with underfloor heating and tiles; increase in size of opening between front and rear rooms; alterations to ceiling and kitchen; new door to utility room Listed Building Consent (Gerard Livett)

No objection

2023/2208 2 Ardleigh Road, N1 4HP Erection of single storey ground floor rear extension, new rooflights to rear roof slope, two new rear windows and removal of front grills to basement windows and external alterations Householder Planning (Micheal Garvey)

While we don’t object to the proposed rear extension we do object to the inclusion of the roof lights. Light pollution at night from the extensive amount of glazing, both to the roof and the front façade of this extension, will have a profound and detrimental effect on the neighbouring properties. We also have concerns about the thermal performance of this amount of glazing and the potential for either heat loss in winter or overheating in summer. We also consider the proposed rooflight on the front slope of the main roof to be inappropriate and that those at the rear are unnecessary. We trust that the patio will be paved with permeable material.
