16/AP/3778 | LAND ADJACENT TO 1A BEAULIEU CLOSE, LONDON, SE5 8BA
Construction of a three-storey four-bedroom house including the creation of off-street parking
COMMENT:
This application appears to show topographical levels inaccurately, and does not show the design in the context of the adjacent houses in both Beaulieu Close and The Hamlet.
The design of the property is not in accord with the adjacent properties which all exhibit strong horizontal glazing typical of the 1960s/70s period they were built in. If built it would break up the existing rhythm and character of the area.
It has the appearance of part of a terrace yet it stands alone, and has two large walls which appear overpowering as the brickwork is unrelieved with any openings or relief.
The society objects to this application.
