Planning Appeal - 67B, Kelvin Road
Site at Flat D, Kerry House, 67B, Kelvin Road, Islington, London, N5 2PQ (Planning application number: P072784)
The Department for Communities and Local Government is considering an appeal against this Council’s decision to refuse permission (dated 10 January 2008) to replace wooden windows with PVC windows (double glazing), replacement 3 pane balcony doors with 2 pane balcony doors (double glazed)
1. REASON: Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed PVC windows and doors, by virtue of their design, would not be inappropriate and out of keeping with the predominant form of existing surrounding fenestration and would not have an adverse effect on the appearance of the host building and the surrounding area. The proposal is contrary to policies D1, D4 and D11 of Islington’s Unitary Development Plan (2002) and 2.3 of Islington’s Urban Design Guide 2006.
