Address: 20 Latchmere Road Kingston Upon Thames KT2 5TW Planning Officer: Andrew Forrest

APPRAISAL

By full committee on …… 13 March 2024 …… with …… 8 …… members present

Issued on 13 Mar 2024

1. Positive support		2. No objection	X
3. Objection		4. Objection unless revised as below
5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason:

The loss of the original rear bay window is a pity but will not be visible from the public realm. The new rear extension is of shallower depth than the existing, a positive change, but we are not fans of the proposed Juliet balcony to the second floor rear.
There are an excessive number of loft windows. They could easily remove the loft landing window and extend the stairwell window in length, as seen in many loft conversions.
