Comments:
- Westminster SPD on basement design indicates that the addition of railings must not harm the appearance of the building. It is understood that this building is listed as a pair, and should the council be minded to grant consent, consideration should be given to the change in appearance of only one of these buildings.
- A large area of what appears to be historic wall is to be removed within the proposals however the heritage statement does not detail why this is necessary.
- Note, the application form is for a full planning application however the building is listed. There was no information available on the form with regards to the listing and alterations proposed. VS: 6 September 2017

Erection of a conservatory at rear first floor level, associated internal and external alterations. (Linked to 17/08372/LBC)
Comment: The only issue we see to highlight here is the relationship between the new layout and the chimney breasts on second and third floors.
In both cases, although not ideal, we think that an appropriate balance has been struck between the needs of any modern home, the practical requirements of drainage, and the integrity of the heritage in this house.
Regarding the second floor in particular we would suggest that detailed drawings are required as a condition to show that the bathroom partitioning has a minimal effect on the adjacent fabric.
