Dear Gillian, As a practice we have completed over 200 projects in Dulwich and we work closely with them on a daily basis. We fully understand their interpretation of policy in the local area. We have gained approval for numerous wrap-around extensions. With regard to the refusal you have received there are three main points that you need to consider. 1 - The height along the boundary which is currently proposed at 2.47m. This is too high for the proposed extension due to the length and Southwark will not approve this. 2 - Based on the drawings provided it would seem that the neighbours GL is lower than yours which would result in the dimension identified on the drawing to actually increase. The council will determine a decision based on the impact on the neighbouring property and the height in relation to their ground level, considering two key policies, loss of outlook and overshadowing. 3 - The design currently includes for a raised parapet wall which is unnecessarily increasing the height along the boundary line. I would be more than happy to arrange a free consultation on site to discuss. We are based in East Dulwich and worked on local projects for 7 years. Kind regards, Nicholas Stockley For and on behalf of Design Squared Ltd
