Proposal
Amendments to planning permission dated 24th February 2022 (RN 21/06887/FULL) for the External and internal refurbishment works comprising the erection of a new buggy and waste storage, new step-free access, rear fire staircase, new paving and railings to the rear and amendments to the fenestration and external doors to enable the continued use of the site as a Class E unit. NAMELY, to make minor modifications, relocation of the pedestrian entrance gate to 9500mm from western boundary wall; Raise the level of the rear deck from 77.65 (lowest point) to FFL: 78.08, reducing the change of levels; Increase the height of the canalside rail from 1100mm to 1500mm; Reconfiguration of the steps in the rear extension of RB Building. This is to facilitate a new fire escape route which is required by Building Control; Provide a new white painted hydraulic platform lift to the rear of the RB Building to enable DDA access to the rear terrace decking level; Provide a new 1500mm white timber fence at the rear terrace between the terrace and nursery garden. This is required for privacy purposes due to OFSTED regulations; Provide a new retaining wall (from FFL78.08) on the eastern boundary. This is to accommodate a ground-level change between the nursery garden and the portobello apartments which requires a retaining wall to support the nursery garden area, creating an even landscaped area; Replace the consented eastern boundary railing with a new 1800mm white timber fence on the eastern boundary, as is required by OFSTED; Pest control, Post and Wire on all windows to prevent bird nesting.

What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About amendments applications
How this application type works
An amendment application changes a permission that already exists. Non-material amendments cover small adjustments with no wider effect, while minor material amendments, usually made by varying a condition, allow modest design changes without a fresh application. Anything beyond that needs a new permission, so the scope here is deliberately narrow.
