24 MONTAGU MEWS WEST PT/09/00036/FULL/TP/24540 Erection of a roof extension to provide additional residential accommodation including four new windows and extension of bay window to side elevation. Associated internal alterations.
Objection The proposals appear to have been carefully considered, and in our view would not harm the Mews streetscape but are unsatisfactory in several other respects:
The proposed new first floor is approximately 2.5m away from the rear windows of 58/59 Montagu Square and will therefore have a detrimental effect on the amenity enjoyed by those occupants. The proposal would in our view result in an unacceptable sense of enclosure to the adjoining properties at basement and first floors.
- The sliding clear glass rooflight would cause a loss of privacy to the new occupants since they could be viewed from the windows in 58/9 upper floors. When all the windows and rooflight were open there could be considerable noise nuisance between both buildings.
- Although the south elevation windows are proposed to be fixed shut and with opaque glass, in practical terms there is no way of ensuring that this remains the case in the future. If they were to be open or with clear glass then they would be totally unacceptable.
- The new projecting bay on the south elevation at first floor would cause a loss of privacy to the occupants of nos 58/9 and 60 Montagu Square, caused by side views out into the adjacent windows.
PV: 12 March 2009
31 UPPER BERKELEY STREET PT/09/00566/FULL/TP/16788/PP-00641591 Erection of a rear extension at basement and ground floor level. Use of building as 2 x 1 bed, 1 x 2 bed flats and 1 x 3 bed maisonette

109-111 CRAWFORD STREET PT/09/00988/FULL/TP/13514 Alterations during the course of construction to a scheme granted permission on the 9 June 2006 (RN: 05/07905) namely, the use of aluminium windows at roof level and enclosure of balconies and patio.
Objection: The applicants contention that the originally proposed ‘crittal' style steel windows is unlikely to be able to be substantiated and the change has almost certainly been made for cost reasons not those given. In our view the approach to extending this building using inappropriately detailed dormer windows has resulted in a less than satisfactory result. PV: 12 March 2009
SEYMOUR LEISURE CENTRE PT/08/10862/COFULL/TP/2617 Installation of an air handling unit and associated ductwork on the first floor flat roof area, one air handling unit and condenser unit within the lower ground floor central courtyard, two wall mounted air conditioning unit within the lower ground floor front lightwell.
Objection: The Association has an ‘in principle' objection to any plant being located in the front areas of buildings adjacent to the pavement as this has a detrimental effect on the street environment. An alternative solution should be found for the plant in location "E" PV: 12 March 2009
7 DUNSTABLE MEWS PT/09/01304/FULL/TP/8764/22555 Demolition of mews building behind retained front facade and part retained rear facade, alterations and extensions including raising roof height and single storey rear extension in connection with use of building as single family dwelling (Part of a land use swap with 54 Wimpole Street).
Objection: The Association believes in encouraging the building of contemporary modern developments in Mews streets rather than the reproduction of historical styles. This site is an opportunity for some 21st century design in our view. The applicant is going to the unnecessary extent of retaining a small and insignificant façade, which the historical study shows has changed over the years, and therefore its full demolition can be justified if a suitably high quality contemporary design was put forward as a replacement. We particularly object to the inexplicably crass way the second garage door is being recreated to hide a modern staircase. A modern design could have more integrity and add far more interest and variety to the conservation area. PV: 12 March 2009

Objection: The Associations view is that a full and balanced proposal for the whole building should be submitted before any change of use is granted. The building is a most important local landmark with an interesting history so we would not wish to see this building treated in a piecemeal manner. The Council should make its intentions for this building clear and consult with the local community before making any applications. We do not want a repeat of the Moxon Street saga. PV: 17 March 2009
