110 St Georges Road London Southwark SE1 6EU
The construction of a single-storey rear extension with access from the lower ground floor to the rear garden, windows and doors refurbishing or replacing all single-glazed sash windows and glazed doors, enlarging door at rear at groud floor level with new steps, new door and terrace over the third floor rear addition with screening/balustrade, repair and replace roof on the main building and rear addition, including necessary rainwater goods and flashing, install an air source heat pump system to the front and installing roof windows in the main roof.
The proposed balustrades for the terraces would introduce a modern and inappropriate element in terms of design and materials, the proposed enlarging of openings would harm the character of this locally listed building. The proposal would fail to preserve the appearance of the locally listed building, cause harm to the character and appearance of the West Square Conservation Area and the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed buildings and would therefore be contary to Policies P19 Listed buildings and structures, P20 Conservation areas and P21 Conservation of the historic environment and natural heritage of the Southwark Plan 2022
The application was not submitted with a noise assessment or a completed MCS 020 ASHP assessment, therefore it is not possible to assess if the proposal would harm the amenity of the adjoining occupiers in terms of noise and disturbance and is therefore not compliant with Policies P56 Protection of amenity and P66 Reducing noise pollution and enhancing soundscapes Southwark Plan 2022
The proposal may impact on the adjacent mature TPO London Plane Tree at the rear of 112 St Georges Road. Of major concern are any proposed new foundations and level changes within the Root Protect Area of this tree. In the absence of an Arboricultural Impact Assessment it can not be determined that the tree would not be impacted resulting in the loss of an importance visual amenity within the conservation area and contrary to Policy P61 (Trees) of the Southwark Plan (2022).
