“DEVELOPMENT Construction of single storey side and rear extension.”

“The application site is located on the northeast side of Ashfield Avenue. The site comprises a two-storey semi-detached dwelling which has an existing side and rear extension.

“With regard to residential amenity the wraparound extension would have a depth of 3.35m which is in line with the Planning & Design Guide Part E 2006 and there is a 2m separation between the properties that mitigate impact to outlook. Therefore, the proposal is considered to not have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties.”

“Overall, the proposal is considered acceptable and would have no detrimental impact in terms of visual and residential amenities or car parking and as such would comply with National and Local Planning Policy. Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval, subject to conditions.”

“As the proposed extension would match the height of the existing side extension the proposal would not be highly visible from the street scene.”

“There have been no objections received from neighbours. Due to the proposed extension matching the depth of no.22’s rear extension, it is considered that the proposed extension would not have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of the occupiers of this dwelling.”

“Members were satisfied with the proposal.”

“It was proposed by: Councillor B Rosehill, seconded by Councillor A Kaza that the recommendations as set out in the report be agreed.”
