SITE ANALYSIS 2.1 The application site, a plot of 277.62 m², is situated in the residential area of Progress Estate Conservation area north of Eltham and east Kidbrooke (Figure 2). The access to the plot is served by a quiet passage with green areas and trees along its length. Franklin Passage starts from Dickson Road next to the junction of Dickson Road and Phineas Pett Road. The rear boundary is bound by a timber fence and high and dense vegetation, which safeguards the privacy of the occupants, while at the front there are well-kept shrubs with wooden fence door, similar to the rest of the properties of this pathway. 2.2 The building is not listed, but it is part of Progress Estate Conservation Area. 2.3 The site is occupied by a two-storey terrace dwelling of traditional construction with light yellow rendered walls with climbing plants covering most of it at the front 3 Registered Office: 46-48 Ennersdale Road, London, SE13 6JB Tel +44 (0)20 80041662, Tel +44 (0)2080049061 www.kappa-planning.co.uk, [email protected] Incorporated in England & Wales (Company No. 8499225) KAPPA PLANNING LTD Architecture & Engineering elevation and white rendered walls at the rear, clay roof tiles and dark grey uPVC windows.

DESIGN PROCESS COMPONENTS 3.1 The design proposes a single storey rear extension with mono-pitch roof and 3 rooflights, a loft conversion and internal alterations. 3.2 At the ground floor a rear extension of 4.7m is proposed and an open plan is created for the kitchen, dining and living room. Bi-folding doors are located at the rear elevation of the extension, a tall window at the left-hand side wall, while the two existing windows at the right-hand side wall are connected to form a fanlight and 3 rooflights are proposed at the roof in order to maximize the natural light in the open space. 3.3 The existing high fences along the boundaries between the properties at numbers 5, 6 and 7 Franklin Passage ensure that the proposed ground floor windows would not be overlooking the neighbouring gardens. 3.4 At the first floor, a new staircase is proposed to provide access to the loft and a family bathroom is created where the study was. 3.5 The loft is converted into a habitable space facilitating a study with a bathroom. 3.6 Five (5) rooflights have been introduced to the existing roof. Four (4) are located at the side slopes roof and one (1) at the rear slope in order to add natural light and ventilation to the loft and staircase. Taking into consideration that the property 6 Registered Office: 46-48 Ennersdale Road, London, SE13 6JB Tel +44 (0)20 80041662, Tel +44 (0)2080049061 www.kappa-planning.co.uk, [email protected] Incorporated in England & Wales (Company No. 8499225) KAPPA PLANNING LTD Architecture & Engineering is located within a conservation area, the proposed rooflights would be of traditional appearance, using Velux Conservation roof windows or similar. 3.7 The window on the rear wall at the loft level is expanded to follow the slopes of the roof and provide more natural light to the loft. Due to the distance from the existing rear wall to the properties at the rear of the plot, no overlooking issues are raised for these properties. 3.8 No changes are proposed at the front elevation of the property. 3.9 Similar application for rear extensions has been approved in the area, some of which are mentioned bellow: - Construction of a single storey rear extension at 30 Whinyates Road, Eltham, SE9 6NN. Ref: 19/2786/HD. Approved on October 2019 - Demolition of existing conservatory and construction of a single storey rear extension at 49 WHINYATES ROAD, ELTHAM, LONDON, SE9 6NL. Ref: 18/1448/HD. Approved on September 2018. - Construction of a single storey rear extension at 40 Whinyates Road, Eltham, London, SE9 6NN. Ref: 18/0678/HD. Approved on April 2018 - Construction of a single storey rear extension and conversion of loft space to form a habitable room, incorporating three rooflights in the rear roof slope at 11 Dickson Road, Eltham, London, SE9 6RA. Ref: 18/0195/HD, Approved on March 2018 - Construction of a single storey rear extension and installation of 2 rear rooflights and replacement windows at 7 Franklin Passage. Ref: 14/2253/F. Approved on October 2014 - Erection of single storey rear and side extension at 27 Downman Road SE9 6RG. Ref: 97/1417/F. Approved on November 1997 3.10 Great attention has been given to the choice of materials and style to be in keeping with the subject building and the surroundings. The new windows will have dark grey, uPVC frame and the walls white render to match the existing. 3.11 The proposed ground floor extension will not affect the daylight and privacy of the neighbouring properties. The height of its roof matches the rear extensions of the adjoining properties and the use of the monopitch design reduces the impact of the extension to the visual amenity of the neighbours. 3.12 The proposal has been formulated to provide well-though, modern internal habitable spaces and appropriate amenities for circulation, living and comfort for the occupants. 7 Registered Office: 46-48 Ennersdale
