Agenda item

13 Tufnell Park Road, N7 0PG (Item B2)

Reason for Refusal - P2016/4766/LBC

The proposed single storey rear extension, by reason of its excessive scale and mass and inappropriate design, which fails to acknowledge the proportions, scale and rhythm of the elements of the host building, and proposes a flat roof and modern rooflight, would harm the significance of the Grade II listed terrace at 11- 21 Tufnell Park Road.  The proposed alterations to the historic plan form would also harm the significance of the host building.  The introduction of structural steelwork bridging the two distinct elements of the building would also harm the historic significance.  As such the proposed works would adversely affect the special architectural and historic interest of the heritage assets, contrary to Policy 12 (Conserving and enhancing the historic environment) of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012, Policy 7.8 (Sustaining and enhancing the significance of heritage assets) of the London Plan 2016, Policy CS9 (Protecting and enhancing Islington's built and historic environment) of Islington's Core Strategy 2011 and Policy DM2.3 (Heritage) of Islington's Development Management Policies 2013.
