Householder planning permission. Haringey Noel Park Conservation Area.

Addition of a single storey rear extension and internal alterations to a single family dwelling in N22, Haringey.

Planning assessment and decision – Haringey Noel Park Conservation Area.

“The depth and size of the extension would be similar in size to a number of ground floor extensions found at the back of adjacent and neighbouring dwellings. As such the extension is viewed to be a subordinate feature and in keeping with the pattern of development to this terrace.

The extension would be faced in brick and have a flat roof and includes features such as a circular window. The inclusion of a circular window is not viewed to be consistent with the fenestration/design to these original terrace properties.

However, in the context that the rear wall to this ground floor extension will not be openly visible from outside the site and in the presence of a variety of extensions and fenestration to the backs of these properties, it is very difficult to argue that harm would be caused to the conservation area. As a result of this and the fact that a similar extension can be built under ‘permitted development rights’, the character and appearance to the conservation area (i.e. the conservation area as a whole) is viewed to be not harmed, and as such left preserved.

The proposal is considered acceptable in terms of its impact on the character and appearance of the Noel Park Conservation Area, and its impact on the neighbouring amenity.

All other relevant policies and considerations, including equalities, have been taken into account. Planning permission should be granted for the reasons set out above. The details of the decision are set out in the RECOMMENDATION”
