101 SEYMOUR PLACE  20/02355/FULL/PP-08598896 Use of building as five residential flats (Class C3). External alteration including the installation of a replacement roof light and installation of

a lift overrun

Comment:   All 3 of the proposed ‘1 bed flats’ fall short of London plan space standards. They are in effect studio flats. The proposed ‘2 bed flat’ on the third floor is also a studio flat at 39sq.m. The Association would be mindful to request dimensions on the plans and a justification of the areas quoted as there are clearly discrepancies in the information provided. For example the first and second floor footprints, benefiting from bay windows, are larger than the third floor footprint. Yet the applicant has provided an identical area measurement for all 3 floors.                           DM:  4 May 2020
