Proposal:

The application seeks planning permission for a sensitively designed series of residential alterations to an existing single-family dwelling within the London Borough of Wandsworth. The proposals are intended to improve the quality and functionality of the accommodation while responding carefully to the character of the host building and the surrounding residential context. Particular attention has been given to scale, massing, appearance and detailing in order to protect neighbouring amenity and to comply with the Wandsworth Local Plan and relevant Supplementary Planning Documents. The proposed works include the excavation and construction of a lower ground floor extension, the erection of a single-storey rear extension with a flat roof and materials to match the existing dwelling, and a loft conversion formed with a 70-degree mansard roof and a small rear dormer window, together with limited roof alterations and a modest increase in ridge height where necessary to achieve compliant internal headroom, while retaining both the existing front roof pitch and the rear roof pitch. A rear roof terrace is also proposed, set back 2.5 metres from the rear elevation, incorporating a specially designed access door, safety obscure balustrading and privacy fencing, with all elements kept below the highest part of the roof profile to limit visual impact. Further alterations include the formation of a new gable roof over the front bay window to reflect neighbouring properties and reinforce the character of the street. Overall, the scheme represents a high-quality domestic extension which will enhance the dwelling while causing no harm to neighbouring occupiers or to the character and appearance of the area.
