Report Clarification

Summary and Key Considerations (Section 2 of report) to read:

Objections have been received from 9 residents and the St John’s Wood Society on the grounds of overdevelopment, detailed design, impact on symmetry of buildings and impact on the St John’s Wood Conservation Area, the bulk and massing of the extension resulting in impact on amenity including loss of sunlight/daylight to neighbouring buildings and overlooking, noise and disruption during the course of works and the impact on trees.

This paragraph originally referenced 4 objections were received and that there was an impact to adjacent listed buildings, where there are no listed buildings adjacent.

Conclusion (Section 10 of report) to read:

The proposal is considered acceptable in design terms, mindful of policies 38, 39, 40 and 45 of the Westminster City Plan 2019-2040 (April 2021). The proposals are considered to preserve the appearance of the host property and contributes to the character and appearance of the St Johns Wood Conservation Area, a designated heritage asset. The proposal would also be compliant with the requirements of the NPPF and the statutory duties of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
