The officer determined that the proposed demolition of the rear roof extension and other works would have a harmful adverse impact on the character and appearance of the dwelling and Peel Conservation…
Environmental Policy 39
Requires a general presumption in favour of retaining buildings which make a positive contribution to the character or appearance of the Conservation Area. The officer found the terrace's roofline makes such a contribution, and demolition would harm this without justification, directly conflicting with the policy.
CA/6 Demolition in Conservation Areas
Prohibits demolition in Conservation Areas without consent, presuming retention of positively contributing buildings and considering new development merits and wider impacts. No merits of new dormer justified demolition here, as it harms the area's architectural interest and uniform terrace character.
Two neighbouring residents at 6 and 9 Lyndale Avenue object to the proposed dormer roof and garden room developments due to impacts on amenity, privacy, light, and the Conservation Area character.
Key concern: Does not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
Resident of 9 Lyndale Avenue
ObjectionI do not believe that the proposed developments at 8 Lyndale Avenue respect the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form or design or the spaces around them.; Similarly, I do not believe that proposed developments preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area or ensure that the special features contributing to the character and quality are protected against inappropriate development.; The windows of the proposed dormer would have direct visual access into the garden room and courtyard of 9 Lyndale Avenue from approximately 6 m away (<< 20m); The windows of the proposed dormer would have direct visual access into the kitchen of 10 Lyndale Avenue from approximately 10 m away (< 20 m)
Resident of 6 Lyndale Avenue
ObjectionWe wish to register our disapproval of the planned works 24/01159/CON. This would be totally out of keeping with a 1930s terrace.
