Planning Consent granted for additional storey to entire terrace in Kensington and Chelsea

Rodić Davidson Architects have secured planning permission at appeal for an additional mansard storey to a terrace of six maisonettes on Bute Street, located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

The additional storey will transform the maisonettes from small 2-bed duplexes into 3-bed family sized units.

A new first floor rear extension will provide dining room space off the kitchen and the new mansard roof will accommodate a master bedroom and ensuite bathroom.

The new extension references the existing architectural language and will create a uniform appearance and new rhythm to the rear, improving the symmetry of the group of buildings.

The brick and window frames are to be composed of materials to match those of the existing building.
