Retrospective first floor rear extension to Flat 1 at Balham High Road

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner of Flat 1 at 15 Balham High Road has applied for permission after already building a first floor extension at the rear of the property. Because the work was done before permission was granted, this is called a retrospective application. The property sits on a busy high street in Balham, close to several schools and a short walk from Balham Underground Station. Around 88 properties have a direct view of the site, though most nearby properties are shielded by other buildings. The council will consider whether the extension is acceptable given its design, its effect on nearby homes, and the fact that it was built without permission first.
