Formation of roof extension, raising the ridge of the roof and insertion of 3no. rooflights to east roofslope, formation of 1no. dormer to east elevation. Replacement of existing windows to north and south elevations. 

This house lies within the St Clements and Iffley Road Conservation Area. It is one of a group of three Arts and Crafts style houses which, according to the Conservation Area appraisal, “add to the overall diversity of Iffley Road and the Conservation Area as a whole.” This application seeks to add a third storey to the property, thereby damaging the cottage-style appearance of the house and the coherence of the group. The mansard roof which engulfs the gables is also objectionable, but our main objection is to the principle of the extra story. We urge that this application be refused
