17/AP/3615 | LAND TO THE REAR OF 44 GROVE LANE, LONDON, SE5 8ST
17/AP/3615 - Alterations to the existing single storey buildings to facilitate the change of use from ancillary residential accommodation to a separate dwelling on land rear of 44 Grove Lane with access via Kerfield Place. LAND TO THE REAR OF 44 GROVE LANE, LONDON, SE5 8ST
The proposal is admirably circumspect in its impact on the surrounding buildings on Kerfield Place, fitting seamlessly into the existing street elevation, with an economical footprint and specific acknowledgement of the existing pointed gables adjacent, and also the change in street level . The internal planning is also exemplary.
Two areas of concern, if the building is to be a separate dwelling, are that there is no garden attached and the blank wall facing the rear of 42 Grove Lane is uncompromising. However, it should be possible to rectify these points satisfactorily.
