The officer concluded that the proposed dormer represents an overly large and bulky addition that would interrupt the generally unbroken roofscape and simple symmetry of the Lyndale Avenue terrace, do…
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design (b) and not adversely affect townscape character (c). The dormer failed as its scale, bulk, and design dominate the roof, interrupting terrace symmetry and harming the Conservation Area terrace's contribution.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character and protecting special features. The dormer harms the unspoilt terrace's simple roofscape and architectural style, visible from public views, failing to preserve CA character.
Environment Policy 23
Requires consideration of adverse impacts on neighbours from alterations. Assessed and found acceptable: privacy loss limited (obscure angle), overshadowing minimal due to low heights.
No Highways Interest
Neighbours from 7 and 9 Lyndale Avenue object to the proposals due to loss of privacy, light, amenity, and harm to Conservation Area character; Highway Services has no objection.
Key concern: Loss of privacy to neighbouring habitable rooms and gardens
Highway Services HDC
No ObjectionAfter reviewing this Application, Highway Services HDC finds it to have no significant negative impact upon highway safety, network functionality and/or parking as the proposed rear garden building would be similar to having a fence and existing shed at the rear of the garden.; Highway Services HDC has no interest (NHI) in: 24/91158/B
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.; I also believe that the proposed developments adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape and townscape.; Similarly, I do not believe that proposed developments preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area.
9 Lyndale Avenue
ObjectionThe response by the agent to the objections of 9 Lyndale Avenue are misleading and / or incorrect in terms of: Visual representation, Privacy of habitable rooms, Loss of daylight and overshadowing.
7 Lyndale Avenue
Objectionthe installation of a dormer roof and full-size windows would be an invasion of our privacy.; this garden room is overbearing and not in keeping with the other properties on Lyndale avenue.; Lyndale Avenue is a conservation area and I understand that this reaches to the rear boundaries of our properties.
