Wraparound rear extension at 43 Pretoria Avenue, Walthamstow, London E17

“The proposal relates to the construction of a single storey wraparound rear extension…”

“The proposed ground-floor extension would be to the full width of the property and have an overall depth of approximately 8.59m (depth on side return) and a 2.08m (depth from rear wall of the dwellinghouse). The depth of the extension would not extend beyond the depth of the neighbouring property of No. Pretoria Avenue and would be similar in height measuring 3.52m.”

“The application site comprises a two-storey, mid-terrace, single family dwellinghouse, located on the western side of Pretoria Avenue, Walthamstow. The property benefits from a two-storey outrigger projection which measures just over 6m in depth, and an existing lean-to rear extension extending from the flank wall of the outrigger only. To the southern side, No.”

“The surrounding area is characterised by properties of varying designs and scale that have undergone alterations over time, including single- and two- storey rear extensions, as well as roof-level dormer extensions. All the properties along this side of Pretoria Road generally benefit from good sized rear gardens, with west-facing rear elevations that allow for good levels of daylight and sunlight particularly within the afternoon and evening hours.”
