18/AP/3627 Demolition
of existing vehicle workshop building (Use Class B2) for erection of a
three-storey plus basement residential building (Use Class C3)
comprising x3 two bed maisonettes and x6 one bed flats (total: 9
residential units) and associated cycle parking and third floor communal
roof terrace.
Much of what is proposed is to be welcomed — the scale and general
appearance of the new buildings is appropriate to the location. However
some of the accommodation provided is substandard. The basement of Flat
1 is almost devoid of natural light and some of the rooms are cramped
and have inadequate natural light eg the bedroom of Flat 8 is
unacceptably small and the living room of Flat 3 has almost no access to
daylight.
The Camberwell Society objects to this proposal for these reasons, but
believes that an acceptable proposal is possible if the density of
accommodation is reduced
