19/AP/0248 Conversion of single-family dwelling house to 3 flats and the construction of a 6m side extension and a basement extension.

The drawings show the property in isolation. The drawings do not show this mid-terrace property in context and seem inaccurate, as from Google, the property clearly has chimney breast/chimney stacks that do not appear on the drawings.

The proposal is to excavate a basement floor to create one of the flats as part of the proposed conversion of this single-family house into three units.

The effect of excavating a basement on the adjoining properties in this steeply sloping street must be a concern.

This basement flat would gain some daylight from the front but little to the subterranean windows shown with small lightwells, serving the rear bedrooms. The rear ground level is equal to the upper ground floor level.

A large internal area noted as kitchen/dining will receive no natural light.

Overall flat sizes given appear adequate, but the accuracy of the plans is questionable.

Conclusion:

Object: Incomplete or inaccurate drawings and substandard basement accommodation
