97 BRADGATE ROAD, LONDON, SE6 4TR
Construction of a roof extension in the rear roof space, installation of roof lights in the front roof slope at 97 Bradgate Road SE6, together with a two storey side extension with glazed window and alterations to provide 1 self-contained unit and new access to flats.
The proposed flat would be provided with an insufficient overall internal floor area of 33m² which in addition to large portions not being suitable for standing due to their eaves location, would constitute a poor standard of accommodation. Furthermore, the proposal would not represent the exceptional design quality required for development of single person dwellings, contrary to Policies 3.5 Quality and design of housing developments of the London Plan (2016) , Policy 15 High Quality Design for Lewisham of the Core Strategy (June 2011) and DM Policy 32 Housing design, layout and space standards of the Lewisham Development Management Local Plan (November 2014).
The proposed side extension, due to its siting, scale, mass and unconventional roof form including the large glazed element would result in an uncharacteristic and alien addition to the street, which would have an incongruous relationship to the host property and wider terrace. As such the proposal would be contrary to paragraph 124 of the NPPF (February 2019); Policies 7.4 Local character and 7.6 Architecture of the London Plan (March 2016), Policy 15 High quality design for Lewisham of the adopted Core Strategy (June 2011), DM Policy 30 Urban design and local character and DM Policy 31 Alterations and extensions to existing buildings of the Development Management Local Plan (November 2014) and the Alterations and Extension SPD (April 2019).
The proposed rear roofslope extension, due to its siting, mass, scale and fenestration pattern, would fail to respect the architectural integrity of the host property, resulting in an incongruous addition to the roof in a highly visible location and therefore harming the appearance of the property and the surrounding area, contrary to paragraph 124 of the NPPF (February 2019); Policies 7.4 Local character and 7.6 Architecture of the London Plan (March 2016), Policy 15 High quality design for Lewisham of the adopted Core Strategy (June 2011), DM Policy 30 Urban design and local character and DM Policy 31 Alterations and extensions to existing buildings of the Development Management Local Plan (November 2014) and the Alterations and Extension SPD (April 2019).
