Scheme description

Construction of a two-storey side extension together with hip to gable side roof extension and single storey rear extension

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposed two-storey side extension, by reason of the absence of ?set-in on the ground floor from the building frontage, would fail to create a sufficient visual clue to distinguish it as an addition to the host building, would result in an unacceptable unbalancing effect on the architectural unity and symmetry of the pair of semi-detached houses, and would fail to preserve or enhance the character of this group of building. In this regard, the proposed work would be contrary to Policy CS15 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012); Policies DM4 and DM29 of the Local Plan – Development Management Policies (2013), Policy 56 of the Emerging Local Plan Part (2021), Policies D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Waltham Forest Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (2010) and Waltham Forest's Urban Design Supplementary Planning Document (2010).

Reason 2

?The proposed two-storey side extension, by reasons of the absence of set-in on the ground floor from the building frontage, overall bulk and width, would result in an unacceptable terracing effect that would disturb the established built pattern and street scene of The Avenue, that would be detrimental to the area's character and would set a poor precedent for future developments. In this regard, the proposed work would be contrary to Policy CS15 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012); Policies DM4 and DM29 of the Local Plan – Development Management Policies (2013), Policy 56 of the Emerging Local Plan Part (2021), Policies D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Waltham Forest Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (2010) and Waltham Forest's Urban Design Supplementary Planning Document (2010).
