REFUSED

Description of application – Loft conversion incorporating rear dormer, front and rear roof lights and barn hip roof extension.

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.

As Ward Member for Petts Wood, Councillor Fawthrop raised concerns in regard to the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character (ASRC).  Councillor Fawthrop’s comments together with a description of the ASRC can be viewed as an Annex to these Minutes.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED for the following reason:-

1  The proposed roof extension would unbalance the pair of semi-detached dwellings, undermining the distinctive characteristics and rhythm of the street scene, detrimental to the character and visual amenities of the Area of special Residential Character within which the application site is located, thereby contrary to policies H8, H10 and BE1 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policies 6, 37 and 44 of the draft local Plan and Policies 7.4, 7.6 and 7.8 of the London Plan.
