Mansard roof extension with roof terrace proposed at mid-terrace flat in Tooting

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner of a flat at 36 Himley Road is applying to add an L-shaped mansard roof extension. This would raise the roofline by 250mm and add a roof terrace with an external staircase to the rear garden. Three roof windows would be added to the front slope, and two chimney stacks would be removed. The property is a flat in a mid-terrace Victorian block built between 1900 and 1929. It is about a 1-minute walk from Sellincourt Primary School, and Tooting Broadway underground station is a few minutes' walk away. Around 27 nearby properties face the site directly, while most others are shielded by buildings. The roof terrace could allow views over neighbouring properties to the north-west and west. The removal of chimney stacks will change the roofline appearance. Residents in a few minutes' walk have little direct sight of this site.
