9 Hollies Way Temperley Road SW12 8QG
To install a small inset second storey rooftop extension to provide a third bedroom, enabling the property to become a 3 bed 5 person family dwelling. Plus, minor amendments to first storey element already approved (planning ref 2025/3113) to include omission of a rooflight and replacement with an obscured high level side facing fixed window on the eastern flank elevation, to be set above 1.7m, obscured and non openable.
The proposed second floor roof extension by reason of its scale, siting and design would be a visually prominent, intrusive and incongruous form of development that would fail to appear suitably subservient or relate sympathetically to the character and appearance of the existing property or local area. The proposal would result in an over dominant harmful intervention and therefore fails to comply with the NPPF (2024), policies LP1 and LP5 of the Wandsworth Local Plan (2023) and the guidance within the Housing SPD (2016).
The proposed second floor roof extension, by reason of its scale, siting and design, would be an unneighbourly form of development that would result in a loss of outlook and create a sense of enclosure for the neighbouring occupiers at no. 3 Hollies Way. The proposal therefore fails to accord with policy LP2 of the Wandsworth Local Plan (2023). In dealing with this application the Council has implemented the requirement in the National Planning Policy Framework to make available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in the Local Plan as well as offering a full pre application advice service. However, we have been unable to seek solutions to problems as the principle of the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and negotiation could not overcome the reasons for refusal.
