312 Commercial Way London Southwark SE15 1QN
Construction of front garden wall, ground floor single storey rear extension and garden studio.
The excessive depth of the proposed rear extension would be an obtrusive and oppressive addition to the detriment of the amenity of the occupants of the No.310 Commercial Way, leading to the provision of an enclosed garden space. For the reasons outlined above, it is considered the proposal fails to comply with P56 'Protection of amenity' of the Southwark Plan (2022) and section 3.4 'Extensions to existing residential dwellings' of the Residential Design SPD (2011).
The proposed rear extension, by reason of its substantial depth, would fail to demonstrate sufficient subservience to the host property to the detriment of its character and appearance. As such the proposal is considered to be contrary to Chapter 12 'Achieving well-designed places' of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2021), Policy D4 'Delivering good design' of the London Plan (2021), P13 'Design of places', P14 'Design quality' of the Southwark Plan (2022) and section 3.4 'Extensions to existing residential dwellings' of the '2015 Technical update to the residential design standards' (2011).
