The property retains its original sash windows. It is located in the Gunter Estate Conservation Area. 1.2 Permission was granted for the use of 120 as four self-contained flats together with a rear roof extension in September 2001 (RN:2000/024123/FUL). A Certificate of Lawfulness was granted in the same month for the use of the ground floor of 118 Edith Road with the ground, first and second floor maisonette at 120 Edith Road (RN:2000/02415/FUL). In addition, permission was granted for the use of the property as two maisonettes (RN:2001/02415/FUL). 1.3 On 1st September 2003, Committee deferred a report recommending approval for the retention of a rear roof extension; installation of three rooflights on the front roofslope; alteration of the roof of the studio building to the rear of the property between upper ground and first floor levels, in Page 4 connection with the formation of a roof terrace; installation of two rooflights to roof of back addition; replacement of roof covering of studio building to rear of site with zinc roof covering (2003/01419/FUL). 1.4 Members were concerned with the inclusion of a roof terrace to the rear of the property between upper ground and first floor level. The concern was on the basis of potential noise and disturbance to neighbouring residential users of their properties as a result of its use. Matters relating to loss of privacy have been addressed with the inclusion of glazed screens to either side of the terrace and were not cited as a reason for the deferral. 1.5 Officers looked at planning appeals against refusals of permission for roof terraces over the 12 months period October 2002 to October 2003 where noise and disturbance has been cited as a reason for refusal. 11 appeals have been made during this period of which 6 (54%) have been dismissed and 5 (46%) have been allowed. All the terraces concerned were significantly larger than that proposed, several involving the entire roof of a two or three storey rear addition. The majority of those involving the whole of the roof were dismissed. 1.6 Inspectors have taken different views on some issues raised by terraces. For example, at 39 Brookville Road (appeal dismissed) the Inspector concluded that the suggested fence and trellis screen would do little in the way of suppressing noise, while at 98 Burnthwaite Road (appeal allowed) and 39A Wardo Avenue (appeal allowed), the Inspectors took the view that a fence or other screen would limit any spread of noise from people on the terrace. At 239 Munster Road (appeal allowed), the Inspector attached a condition to the granting of permission to prevent the use of the terrace after 10 p.m., to avoid noise disturbance. 1.7 However, size seems to have been the most important consideration for Inspectors in many of the decisions. At 39A Wardo Road (appeal allowed) and 17 Kinnoul Road (appeal allowed) the Inspector concluded that limiting the extent of the terrace by barriers would limit the number of people able to use it and thus the potential for noise disturbance. Of those appeals allowed, terrace size ranged from 4.8 square metres to approximately 17 square metres. For this largest terrace, at Flat 3, 91 Bishops Road, the Inspector concluded that ".... Because of the fairly restricted capacity of the terrace, its use would be unlikely to cause an unacceptably greater level of noise and disturbance than that which would come from within the property when windows were open." 1.8 The terrace under consideration at 120 Edith Road was significantly smaller (approximately 2.8 square metres) than all those considered by the Inspectors above and could only accommodate up to 3 people. In view of the various Inspectors' comments, officers considered that there must be an element of doubt as to whether the refusal of permission for a terrace of the size proposed would be upheld at appeal on grounds of noise and disturbance. Page 5 1.9 However, the applicant indicated that he was not prepared to risk putting an application to Planning Applications Committee, which could be refused. At the applicants request, the item was deferred from 3rd November 2003 PAC and the file returned to the case officer. The application was altered to delete the roof terrace from the proposals and replace the door at first floor level with a sash window. All other elements of the proposal were considered to be acceptable. The application was approved under delegated powers on 20th November 2003 (RN: 2003/01419/FUL). 1.10 Subsequently, the applicant has decided to reapply for the erection of two glass screens and a railing to the flat roof at rear first floor level in connection with the formation of a roof terrace together with the retention of the door providing access to the flat roof.
