Planning appeal 3322808 at Flat A, 40 Earlham Street, London, WC2H 9LH (London Borough of Camden) was dismissed on 21 February 2024 by Inspector Kirby R, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the submitted drawings are sufficiently accurate and unambiguous to allow proper assessment of the proposal's effects on the Grade II listed building, nearby listed buildings, and the conservation area.
The works comprise a balcony to the rear of Flat A with the following details: - Measuring the length and depth of the [late 20th Century] parapet projection in front of the bedroom of flat A - With fixings to the parapet copings and brickwork of no. 40 Earlham Street - To be built with a grill front to match the balconies on the above floors and a matching grill floor to allow passage of light to the obscured glass skylights beneath, which give limited daylight to the rear of the commercial space at No 36. - The floor to be in hinged sections which can be raised flexibly to allow access to the skylights. - The existing window to be replaced with French doors to match those of the 2nd and 3rd floor flats above - Removable steel or wooden steps to be provided as access from inside
