Flat C, 56 Upper Tollington Park, London, N4 4BX

Planning appeal 3325345 at Flat C, 56 Upper Tollington Park, London, N4 4BX (London Borough of Haringey) was allowed on 5 March 2024 by Inspector Gethin T, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Stroud Green Conservation Area, with particular regard to the rear dormer.

The proposal is to provide a loft conversion to the top floor flat. Associated internal works include replacing existing PVC windows with traditional sash windows. New loft space will provide additional bedroom, bathroom & walk-in wardrobe. Existing stair will be extended to improve access to the loft space. Moving one of the bedrooms upstairs will allow to create an open plan KITCHEN / DINING on the lower floor, which is more suitable for modern family life

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Stroud Green Conservation Area, with particular regard to the rear dormer

What decided it

The proposed rear dormer, whilst reasonably large, would be a sufficiently subordinate addition set within the pitched roof that would not harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, particularly given the existence of comparable dormers at nearby properties in less prominent positions.
