REFUSED

Description of application – Rooftop extension to provide 2x1 bedroom residential units.  Alterations to existing entrance and mansard roof to left of entrance.

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

The Chief Planner confirmed both flats were intended as 1 bed-1 person units and at 37 sqm and 41 sqm, the size of the units complied with Mayor of London standards.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED as recommended, for the reasons set out in the report of the Chief Planner with reason 1 amended to read:-

‘1  The proposed addition of two rooftop flats constitutes a cramped and over-intensive use of the property, lacks adequate facilities commensurate with modern living standards, and is thereby contrary to policy 3.5 of the London Plan, the Council’s general requirements for residential conversions and Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.’.
