4.12 Impact on Notable Views
The new proposal rebuilds the existing extension with
a building of higher quality and a stronger, more
sympathetic, contemporary design, improving the
presence of the church on Primrose Hill Road.
The form of this proposal has been designed with
thought to its wider urban context, including to the four
notable views relating to St Mary identified in the
Conservation Area assessment.
We have carefully considered the impact on these
views in the design of this proposal, as shown in the
diagrams opposite.
Looking south along Primrose Hill Road from outside of
the Conservation Area towards Primrose Hill, the
extension will be visible along side the church hall, but
will not reduce the visibility of the hill. It will replace the
existing building behind the existing trees, and
between the building and the street there will be
enhanced soft landscaping.
From the south, the visibility of the proposed building
will again be similar to that of the existing building, as
shown on the images opposite.

From both directions, the proposed building does not
impact on the character of Primrose Hill Road as a
tree-lined avenue.
