Residents’ concerns
Neighbours objected over light, overshadowing, overlooking, privacy, and possible loss of trees and hedges, with some suggesting alternative window designs.
“Road and 3 Butler Place, Cleethorpes (prospective owner of property in Waltham. Clarity has been sought to determine which neighbouring property the objection has been received on behalf of however, no response has been received). Objections broadly on the grounds of light and overshadowing, overlooking and loss of privacy and potential for loss of trees and hedges.”
Officer report
Committee discussion
Members considered the design, the existing rear window, the extension’s distance from neighbours, and whether bathroom-window obscuring could be conditioned.
“Councillor Kaczmarek said that the upstairs extension was notable, but it seemed like other properties in that area had done the same thing. He said that committee members could consider adding a condition regarding the obscuring of the bathroom window then that would mean there would still only be one window potentially overlooking their properties as there already was.”
“Councillor Bright said that he saw no reason to refuse the application and the adjacent house window was already there and this window would be further away.”
