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.
