Construction of a two-storey extension to create a new three-bedroom
dwelling.
The proposal is to make use of the side access alley and side door to
access the existing first floor kitchen, lost to the rear of the site as
the flat entrance, kitchen and living area, before a wrap round corridor
to reach the front of the site to erect a two storey front extension
designed to sit in front of the dramatic lantern rooflight; the key
feature of this historic building. Thereby this key feature of the
building is overshadowed, surrounded and lost from public view.
The building is one that defines Camberwell and is part of its history;
to make such a change to this building would be aunacceptable loss.
Whilst the lantern might be viewed from within the Public House the
effect will be lost. Externally the view will be lost from both the gap
on Camberwell Green and from Camberwell New road albeit standing back at
a distance or enjoyed from the upper deck of the bus. This is a unique
building and should not be tampered with.
The Camberwell Society objects to this proposal.
