45, Flat C, Milner Square, London, N1 1TW

Proposal

The proposal is to restore the flat in a sympathetic manner to its historic nature, matching existing adjacent work in method, material, colour, texture, and profile. There will be no external modifications, access changes, or obstructions. Alterations are limited to modern, reversible stud partitions that will not affect the building's historic fabric or structural elements. Second Floor - Relocation of the kitchen position to the current office room (restoration to its historical location) - Removal part of the non-historical stud partition between the current office room and the living room, forming a link between the two front rooms - Removal of the existing door between the current office room and staircase landing and replace with a stud partition Note that the partition wall between the current two front-facing rooms is not historic fabric and is a partition thought to date from the 1970s rehabilitation of the property (quoting 10C Milner Square's delegate report: P2023/3109/LBC). The proposed kitchen location aligns with the property's original configuration, as evidenced by: (i) the kitchen position of the adjacent flat 45B on the first floor immediately below; (ii) the proximity to the existing drainage and soil stack routes; and (iii) the precedent established in the approved application P2023/3109/LBC for 10C Milner Square, in which a materially similar kitchen relocation in the same terrace was approved. Drainage runs for the relocated kitchen will follow existing service routes and routes used within the 1970s rehabilitation. No new penetrations to historic fabric are required. Third Floor - Re-partition the internal space of the guest and en-suite bathrooms This change affects only the distribution within the two bathrooms, not the overall layout. Proposed alterations: - Reposition (remove and re-create) the partition between the guest and en-suite bathrooms - Removal of the existing guest bathroom door and replace with a new stud partition - New door opening in stud partition between hallway and guest bathroom No joists will be cut to achieve the proposed guest and en-suite bathroom layout: (i) the hot / cold water supply pipes and waste for the basin in the en-suite bathroom will run above ground within the new stud wall (ii) the waste for the shower and bathtub will run along the path of the existing pipes (iii) the waste for the new toilet will run above ground in the guest bathroom along the length of the stud wall, until it rejoins the path of the existing pipes. The guest bathroom ventilation remains unchanged, using the existing location. A new vent will be installed above the en-suite shower. Both vent through the roof. Note the proposed bathroom alterations are similar to those approved in planning applications P2022/2707/LBC in respect of 23C Milner Square.
