1A Stanley Avenue, New Malden, Merton, KT3 6EW
ERECTION OF A TWO STOREY REAR EXTENSION AND HIP TO GABLE AND REAR ROOF EXTENSIONS TO CONVERT THE PROPERTY INTO THREE x SELF CONTAINED FLATS.
The proposed development due to its design, height, siting and massing would result in an incongruous and inappropriate form of development that would be dominant and intrusive, failing to complement the appearance of the existing building and neighbouring buildings. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Merton Sites and Policies Plan 2014 policy DM D1, DM D2 and DMD3, Core Strategy Policy CS 14 and London Plan policy D3 and D4.
The proposed development would fail to provide a good standard of living conditions for the future occupants of the dwelling, given that the bedroom of Flat C would suffer from poor outlook. Therefore, the proposal would be contrary to London Plan 2021 policy D6 and Merton SPP policies DM D2.
The proposed development due to the position of external openings, as well as the height, depth and siting of the first floor and loft extension, would result in a loss of privacy, block light, and create an overbearing and unneighbourly presence to the detriment of neighbour's living conditions. The proposal therefore fails to comply with policies DMD2 and DMD3 of the Merton Sites and Policies Plan 2014, CS 14 of the LBM Core Strategy 2011 and D3 and D4 of the London Plan 2021.
