Disabled-access rear extension at 118 Holly Road, Stanway, Colchester

“Description of the Proposal 4.1 The application seeks planning permission for a single-storey rear extension. The extension would project approximately 6.5m from the rear of the house and would be approximately 2.7m high with a flat roof.”

“Materials The external facing and roofing materials to be used shall be those specified on the submitted application form and drawings.”

“Hours of working No demolition or construction work shall take place outside of the following times; Weekdays: 08:00-18:00 Saturdays: 08:00-13:00 Sundays and Bank Holidays: No working…”

“Design The proposal would be single storey and feature a flat roof, finished in matching brickwork and located to the rear of the host dwelling. The design is typical of a proposal of this type and would allow the resident to have independence owing to their limited manoeuvrability. As the floorplan highlights, the space would feature a bedroom and en-suite, and would feature a door, a ramp and two windows along the side elevation.”

“The proposed development would be approximately 2.7m high and run alongside the boundary with the neighbouring property. There would, therefore be an impact on the neighbour in respect of daylight and sunlight. That being said, given the single-storey nature of the proposed extension, the impact is not considered to be significant with which to have a harmful impact on neighbouring amenity.”

“Archaeological Adviser: Confirmation that the proposed development would not result in material harm to the significance of below-ground archaeological remains. No requirement for archaeological investigation in this case.”

“Environmental Protection: No objection subject to condition to secure hours of demolition/construction. Recommended informative regarding ground gas risks.”
