The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal and notes that whilst three rooflights are contrary to guidance, are preferable to two in this particular location and arrangement.

2016/2513 19 Sutton Square E9 6EQ Erection of single storey ground floor rear extension, erection of a rear roof extension and installation of front rooflights. (Simon Robert 02083566377)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2015/3638 Land to rear of 119 Evering Road N16 7SL Demolition of existing garage and erection of three-storey single dwellinghouse at basement, ground and first floor levels. Dwellinghouse would front onto Benthal Road. [Note for consultation: Revised drawing received.] [Note for consultation: Revised drawings received. Revisions are the omission of the proposed roof terrace, relocation of main entrance to front elevation and internal reconfiguration to provde a one-bedroom dwellinghouse.] (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

The Clapton CAAC welcomes the removal of the roof terrace but is still concerned about the poor quality of the design. The siting of the proposal, projecting in front of the adjacent terrace, risks detracting significantly from it and harming the character of the Conservation Area. The proposal makes literally no acknowledgment of its context, makes no references to it nor respects any of its characteristics. Whereas an exemplary modern design may, in certain circumstances, enhance a conservation area without referencing it, this insipid, uninspiring box fails to do that and risks significant harm to the character of the conservation area. The drawings remain lacking in any detail which instil any confidence that the scheme will be well executed in any event.

2016/2480 First Floor Flat 89-91 Durlston Road E5 8RP Erection of a roof extension over the rear main roof and the rear outrigger. (Simon Robert 02083566377)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal, except to say we would prefer the expression of the single mono-block dormer as two separate dormers, set apart from each other and the party wall that separates them. The design and access statement is repeatedly inconsistent in its language and it is not clear if the dormer is supposed to be one large dormer ot two.

2016/2590 19 Hogan Way E5 8RF Erection of new two-storey, 2-bed dwellinghouse (C3 use class); associated cycle storage, refuse storage and landscaping (Tim Wild 0208 356 8253)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

Terraces at lower ground, ground and new third floor level also proposed. (Louise Smith 0208 356 8061)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2016/2721 Flat 2 & 3, 61 Brooke Road N16 7RA The erection of a rear roof extension. (James Carleton 020 8356 6345)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2016/2602 70-72 Cazenove Road N16 6AA Erection of fencing to site frontage (resubmission of 2016/0696) For the purposes of consultation only: retrospective planning permission is sought for a temporary period expiring on 31/08/2018 (Catherine Slade 020 8356 8056)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2016/2693 21 Ickburgh Road E5 8AF Erection of front lightwell containing stairs and lowered window to serve additionally excavated basement; demolition of existing single-storey rear extension and erection of single-storey rear extension at ground floor level with rooflights; removal of existing rear dormer and erection of enlarged rear dormer at second floor/roof level; installation of three rooflights to main rear roof; installation of replacement concrete roof tiles with slate tiles; establishment of additional entry/opening in front wall (Tim Wild 0208 356 8253)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal in principle but object to removal of chimney stack and the additional entrance on the front boundary wall. Neither are necessary to implement the scheme and both harm the character of the conservation area by disturbing the established rhythm of the roof pattern and boundaries respectively.

2016/2772 The Bakehouse Brett Passage E8 1JR Variation of Condition 3 (requiring removal of windows to the north elevation) to allow the retention of the windows with fixed translucent glazing. (Gerard Livett 020 8356 8398)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal.

2016/2393 Flat A 148 Evering Road N16 7BD Erection of a part one part two storey rear extension at basement and ground floor levels. (James Carleton 020 8356 6345)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal subject to details and aged samples of the timber cladding be secured by condition.

2016/2271 1a Powell Road Hackney E5 8DJ Erection of a three storey building with one ground floor level office unit (Use Class B1) and four residential units with balconies, erection of a single storey cycle store and refuse stores (following demolition of an existing single storey building in use for vehicle repair (Use Class B2). For the purposes of consultation only: The proposed housing mix is 1x3bed, 2x2bed and 1x1bed. (Nick Bovaird 0208 356 8291)

The Clapton CAAC has no objection to the proposal in principle and see no negative effect on the neighbouring Conservation Area. However we draw officers' attention to the ground floor design and in particular observe: 1) that the commercial is a token gesture and patently designed with future residential use in mind. The applicant must be made to properly market the unit at a reasonable rate and without harming its viability through the adjacent residential uses, before seeking any change of use in the future. 2) that the proposed ground floor flat does not have its own entrance, which would be preferable for its positive impact on the streetscape, natural surveillance, and improved urban design.
