Alteration to the roof profile, single storey/part two storey side/rear extension, external alterations, including new and replacement fenestration to the front, side and rear (Retrospective)
The proposed alteration and increase in height at the rear outrigger is considered to be incongruous and out of keeping with the pattern of developments in the local area. The over-dominant height would fail to harmonise with the original building on the site that would result in being out of keeping with the character and general pattern of area. As such the proposal is considered to run contrary to the policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021), and policies 7B and 7.4 of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013).
The proposed addition of three full height Juliet balconies on the first and second floor levels would result in detrimental impact in terms of loss of privacy to neighbouring properties including the private gardens of 160 and 164 Gunnersbury Lane, and properties located further away from site along Gunnersbury Lane, Lillian Avenue and Gunnersbury Gardens. It is considered that the development would result in unacceptable impacts upon the amenities of neighbouring properties and would therefore fails to comply with policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), policy 7.4 and 7B of the Ealing Development Management DPD and SPD4.
