Erection of a single storey rear extension to dwellinghouse.
Comment: This is a retrospective application which was required because one side of the extended kitchen is within 2m of the rear wall of the adjacent property’s garage, and the ridge of the extension is 4.2m high, thus not within the scope of automatically permitted development.
The extension doubles the size of the kitchen, which had been very small for the size of the house, and also improves the appearance of the rear elevation of the house by adding a bay window which matches the existing bay windows at the front of the house.
Whilst it is regrettable that the application has been made retrospectively, the extension will improve the facilities and appearance of the house and will have only a marginal impact on the adjacent property.
The Camberwell Society has no objection to this proposal
