Porch and rear extensions at 104 Udimore Road, Rye

“The application sought permission to build a front porch, re-clad the first floor rear, and construct the previously authorised single-story rear extension (RR/2023/2536/P). The site was within the development boundary for Rye.”

“The single storey rear extension will remain the same as that approved under Application Ref: RR/2023/2536/P where it was found to be acceptable in regard to potential impact presented to neighbouring amenities. As no changes are proposed to this element, that assessment remains material and applicable to the current proposal.”

“The proposed extensions and alterations are acceptable in terms of scale and design in relation to the host dwelling with neutral impact on the locality. There would also be no adverse impact on the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties.”

“The proposed front porch would be of a modest scale and given its size, position and relationship with neighbouring properties, it would not give rise to unacceptable overlooking, loss of privacy, loss of light, or an overbearing impact.”

“Councillor Gray moved that the application be GRANTED (Full Planning Permission) as per the officer’s recommendation, as detailed within the report. This was seconded by Councillor Mrs Barnes. The motion was declared CARRIED (7 for / unanimous).”

“13 1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: In accordance with section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended by section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004).”

“The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans and details: • Drawing No. 01 – Existing and Proposed Floor Plans – dated 28 July 2025 • Drawing No. 01 – Existing and proposed roof plan – dated 28 July 2025 • Drawing No.”
