Erection of a single storey rear extension, alterations to fenestration and conversion of loft space involving a dormer extension at rear and rooflights to front roofslope.
The proposal, and the rear dormer extension in particular, by reason of its orientation, design, size, width and the choice of flat roof profile, would form an incongruous addition to the dwelling that would appear box-like and top-heavy on the rear elevation that would be readily visible from Richmond Road, Kingston Gardens and Windsor Gardens streetscene and would adversely impact on the established character and appearance of the main building, the wider streetscene within 'Beddington Village' Conservation Area, contrary to Policies 28 and 30 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018 and the guidance in Supplementary Planning Document 'Design of Residential Extensions' (SPD4), Sutton's Urban Design Guide 'Creating Locally Distinctive Places' SPD (SPD14) and the 'Beddington Village' Conservation Area - Character Appraisal (2018).
Given the design and the insufficient internal floor to ceiling height of the proposed en-suite bedroom within the loft space, the proposed development would fail to provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for the current and future occupiers, contrary to Policy D6 and GG3 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy 9 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
