Planning permission was granted subject to conditions and completion of a Legal Agreement.

5.1  PROPOSAL: Variation of condition 2 (development according to the approved plans) of planning permission 2019/3246 dated 29/04/2020 for erection of a roof extension including the extension to the existing external staircase to facilitate the creation of three self-contained flats (2x studio and 1 x 1 bed)’’. The effect of the variation would be to amend the set back of the roof extension and extend it to the Shore Road elevation, change materials to the roof extension and bike store and to amend the detailing of the fenestration to the elevations of the roof extension.

5.2  POST SUBMISSION REVISIONS:

? The removal of glass boxes to the rear;

? Extension set back to match the existing neighbour extension of

  number 42;

? Reduction in height of the extension to bring in line with the original approval; and

? Detailing of the windows and doors simplified.

The above revisions were reconsulted on on 16th November 2022. A further amendment of the plans were received which removed the annotation ‘Proposed extension to be set back by 100mm with No.42 Well Street.’ These were received as this is incorrect the setback is 160mm, officers measured the setback of No.42 on site to confirm this. This amendment was not consulted on as the 60mm is considered non-material and would not require a further consultation.

5.3  The Planning Service’s Central Area Team Leader introduced the planning application report as published. During their presentation reference was made to the published addendum and amendments to the following sections of the application report;

·  Paragraph 7.6

5.4  A local resident, a Hackney Ward Councillor and the agent for the applicant made their submissions at the meeting. Sub-Committee members heard objections  about how the application was muddled and unclear. There were further concerns raised about the  lack of communication during the planning process, management of the existing building, a shortfall in the waste provision and the structural integrity of the building. The agent for the applicant, acknowledged that there had been some confusion during the planning process with previous iterations of the proposals.  They explained that, Nicer Estates Ltd, had come in and overhauled the  plans in 2020. The extension was now set back, the material for the cycle storage was changed from glass to timber and design of the windows had also changed from arch to rectangle and the height of the extension had been lowered

5.5  The meeting entered the discussion phase where a number of points were raised including the following:

·  Sub-Committee members were reminded that they were considering a variation to an erection of a roof extension to an application that had been approved on 29 April 2020;

·  Concerns raised about the structural integrity of the building to which the extension would be built on top of was not a material planning issue and therefore was not under consideration at the Sub-Committee meeting. Issues involving structural integrity was under the remit of the Council’s Building Control;

·  The Council’s Conservation, Urban Design Sustainability  ...  view the full minutes text for item 5.
