Cambridge Court Cambridge Road Kingston Upon Thames KT1 3LX
Erection of two additional floors to create 4no. one-bedroom and 2no. three-bedroom self-contained residential units
The development would result in a significant loss of daylight and overbearing impact to ground floor flat windows at No. 444 Kingston Road and would result in a significant loss of privacy, undue sense of enclosure, overbearing impact and loss of daylight to habitable room windows within Cambridge Court, contrary to Policies DM10 and DM11 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012).
The proposed two-storey upward extension would have a muddle and contrived appearance which would detract from the character and design of the existing building and the wider area, contrary to Policies DM10 and DM11 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012) and the NPPF (2021).
The proposed 3 bedroom units would fall below the minimum internal areas required by Table 3.1 of the London Plan (2021), the proposed bedrooms for these flats would fall below the minimum width requirements set out in the Nationally Described Space Standards (2015) and insufficient amenity space would be provided for the residents of Cambridge Court (existing and proposed), contrary to Policies DM10 and DM11 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012), Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and the Nationally Described Space Standard (2015).
