Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development is recommended for grant as it respects the scale, design, and architectural form of the existing dwelling and surrounding Residential Conservation Area, and would not seriously injure the visual or residential amenities of the area, subject to conditions regarding materiality and screening.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The extension's modulated height and massing, including specific setbacks, ensure it remains recessive and subordinate to the original dwelling, preserving the character of the conservation area.
  • Potential overlooking from the proposed roof terrace and external stairs is successfully mitigated by requiring the stairs to be internalized and a 1.8m high screen to be provided on the north-eastern side.
  • A brick finish on the front elevation of the extension is necessary in lieu of render to ensure the development harmonizes with the existing Victorian red-brick character of the streetscape.
