Construction of dormer roof extension to main rear roof (with French doors and safety railings), and roof extension above two storey outrigger, with installation of two roof lights to front roof slope.
The drawings submitted as part of the application are inconsistent, with the proposed rear elevation plan does not corresponding with the side elevation plan illustrating differences in set back from the roof eaves. These discrepancies mean that the proposal cannot be accurately assessed and therefore fails to demonstrate compliance with Policy 53 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (2024).
Notwithstanding the first reason for refusal, the proposed rear dormer extension and roof extension above outrigger by reason of their excessive width, depth, and height across the original rear roof slopes with insufficient setback away from the roof eaves and rear flank elevation, would represent a bulky and top-heavy addition to the main building, representing an insubordinate and visually dominant form of development producing harm to the existing character and architectural integrity of the building within the terrace parade. The development is therefore contrary to Policy 53 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (2024).
