Extension to the rear in the basement, ground and first floor.
Additional third floor with new mansard roof with demolition of existing
roof. New staircase to the basement from the front of the building and
internal alterations within the property.
The planning application is voluminous but unfortunately fails to
reflect the detailed planning guidance provided in Southwark’s (Mr. Gary
Rice) pre-application advice enquiry report dated 29th September 2014.
The amendments to the plans referred to in the Design and Access
Statement are minor and fail to address the key concerns expressed in
the council’s advice.
The Society shares the view expressed in the pre-application advice
enquiry report dated 29th September 2014 that the proposed additional
floor at the rear is excessive and that an apparently unauthorised past
extension at the rear of the neighbouring No. 31 has no relevance as a
precedent for ignoring the requirements for this conservation area.
The Camberwell Society recommends that the Council rejects the plans as
submitted and makes it clear that any plans for an additional floor will
not be entertained.
