5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason for objection:

Objection: This is effectively an application for a new build property. The existing property is undistinguished but relatively unobtrusive whereas we consider the proposed new-build is over-sized for this plot - in contravention of RBK planning guidance (PG33) as conceded by the applicant himself. Furthermore the proposed design & materials are awful & would jar profoundly with the character & appearance of the surrounding conservation area being traditional Victorian/ Edwardian housing.
