The proposed roof extension over the rear wing, by reason of its bulk, shape and location, is considered to represent an arbitrary change to the original roof geometry and to harm the character and appearance of the conservation area. As such the proposal would conflict with Council policy, in particular Core Strategy policies CL1, CL2 and CL3, 'saved' UDP policies CD44, CD45 and CD63 and the recommendations of the Chelsea Conservation Area Proposals Statement.

Refused despite pre-app advice
To assist applicants in finding solutions to problems arising in relation to their development proposals the Local Planning Authority has produced planning policies, and provided written guidance, all of which are available on the Council's website, and offers a pre-application advice service. Pre-application advice was sought and provided. Unfortunately, this advice was not adhered to. Nevertheless, the Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of a new planning application.
