Construction of a mansard extension to the main roof, extension above the two storey rear outrigger and installation of two roof-lights to the front roof slope.
Given the incongruous design and excessive bulk, the proposed mansard roof and rear roof extension are overbearing and top-heavy additions to the subject property, which would visual imbalance and disrupt of rhythm of the terrace parade and streetscene, to the contrary of Policies D1 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy 53 of the adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan LP1 (2024).
The proposal would result in substandard living environment for future occupiers whereby the bedroom size, total gross internal area, ceiling height and lack of outdoor amenity space would fail to meet the minimum requirements set out by Technical Housing Standards – Nationally Described Space Standard, Policies D4 of London Plan (2021), Policies 16, 48 and 56 of the adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan LP1 (2024).
