2022/0897 171 - 173 Stoke Newington High Street, N16 0PE Advertisement consent for the installation of one externally illuminated square projecting sign and two externally illuminated fascia signs. Advertisement Consent (Jonathan Bainbridge)

SN-CAAC feel that in this prominent position the sign is too large and not in keeping with teh conservation area. The lettering should be smaller and more discrete. The branding of Pret is so well known that there should be no detriment to having a less bold and blatant sign.

2022/0902 171 - 173 Stoke Newington High Street, N16 0PE Full planning permission for shopfront alterations (and associated works) Full Planning Permission

SN-CAAC feel that in such a prominent position the large expanse of nearly unbroken glass is detrimental to the character of the conservation area. Some method of visually interrupting the expanse of glass is desirable.

2022/0907 The Castle Climbing Centre Green Lanes, N4 2HA Removal of 1.2m of existing boundary wall and iron railings, replacing with a new steel pedestrian gate, to provide new safe pedestrian access to the site. Traffic lights moved 600mm to make way for new walkway Listed Building Consent (Gerard Livett)

SN-CAAC have no objection

2022/0914 Flat 4, 100 Queens Drive, N4 2HW The erection of a rear and side dormer window over the existing roof with two conservation style rooflights to front slope. Full Planning Permission (Jonathan Bainbridge)

SN-CAAC object to this planning application on the grounds of harm to the Conservation Area. The group of houses 90 - 106 Queens Drive are matching pairs of semi detached Victorian villas in good, uniform condition and form an important part of the newly created Brownswood Conservation Area. In particular the roof line is fully uniform with, unusually, no roof lights or dormer windows added over the years due to the low head height available in the roof space making them unsuitable for attic conversions. This planning application is proposing a dormer window on the hip roof of the side elevation and roof lights to the street side roof, both of which will be visible from the street and both will destroy the current consistency of appearance of the townscape. While we believe that more freedom is acceptable on the rear of the building, this rare survival of uniformity in the townscape is the principle reason this area has been designated a Conservation Area and so must be protected from inappropriate development such as this application.

2022/0725 56 Finsbury Park Road, N4 2JX Conversion of three flats into a single dwelling Full Planning Permission (Monika Vistartaite)

2022/0375 7 Finsbury Park Road, N4 2LA Erection of rear dormer extension; erection of second floor rear extension to existing rear outrigger. Householder Planning (Micheal Garvey)

SN-CAAC have no objection

2022/0728 95 Wilberforce Road, N4 2SP Addition of rooflights and alterations to the fenestration together with the creation of a new cycle store. Householder Planning (James Clark)

SN-CAAC have no objection

2021/3628 98 Mountgrove Road, N5 2LT Retention of existing basement extension, roof light, and 1.8m screening. Retention of basement and ground floor as offices (Class E) Full Planning Permission (Micheal Garvey)

SN-CAAC feel that the plans appear to be residential and possibly an HMO as opposed to office space. As such we feel it would be almost slum dwellings and should not be approved

2022/1098 34 Lordship Park, N16 5UD Demolition of an existing garden wall, erection of new building comprising a 3-bed dwelling, associated excavation of 148sqm in the rear garden and tree removal. Full Planning Permission (Catherine Nichol)

SN CAAC strongly object to this application and feel it should be refused. We note that a previous application of this nature at 50 Lordship Park failed at 2 appeals. In the last one, also a single storey house (dated 15 March 2015, report APP/U5360/A/14/2223040). The planning inspector commented:" The CA comprises chiefly large semi-detached houses set back from the road behind landscaped front gardens. They are characterised by very large rear gardens with matuure and semi-mature trees. The prevailing nature of the area is one of spaciousness with mature landscaping." The inspector also noted in the report that the preservation and retention of the houses and their garden plots was the aim and intention when the Conservation Area was set up.We mirror the planning inspector’s remarks in their report about 50 Lordship Park and think that development at 34 Lordship Park, “would be harmful to the established spacious character and the development grain of the CA, and it would not overcome the concern of the previous inspector that such a proposal would erode the cohesive appearance of the verdant rear gardens.” In recent years the value of green spaces has been increasingly evident, the loss of garden space must be opposed. The loss of 14 trees will impact hugely on the wide range of wildlife that use the green corridor including a number of bat species.
