20/AP/633
Demolition of garage and section of curtilage listed wall and
construction of a 2 storey plus basement residential dwelling.
This application is almost identical to the previous one except for
the addition of drawings of the adjacent buildings and a design and
access statement. These do not compensate for the failings of the
design and we would therefore like to submit the Camberwell
Society’s reasons for objecting to the first application as also
applying to this application as follows:
The site of the proposed house is small and irregular in shape but
with the potential to become a worthwhile dwelling. Unfortunately its
potential has not been realised by this application.
The internal arrangement has apparently been designed for maximum
inconvenience and the external elevations present a confusion of
openings of different sizes and shapes seemingly deployed at random.
The two windows located in the party wall with number 165 would
blight possible future development there as well as creating a
potential overlooking problem.
The tiny pitched roofs between the ground and first floors and the
bricked-up windows and doors on the sides facing the gardens of 163
and 165 Camberwell Grove only add to the general air of disarray.
The Camberwell Society objects to this application.
