Rear extension and dormer at 21 Bromstone Road, Broadstairs

“The site is located in Bromstone Road, which is characterised by predominantly detached dwellings. There is a varied character, although the majority of properties in the immediate locality are bungalows. Two storey dwellings are present within the street.”

“The application site is located to the south of Bromstone Road, and is a detached bungalow, with detached bungalows either side and to the rear of the property. The property has a side garage, which is remaining, and an existing single storey rear extension, which is being removed as part of the proposal.”

“Policy QD03 outlines that new development must not lead to unacceptable living conditions through overlooking, noise, vibrations, light pollution, overshadowing, loss of natural light or a sense of enclosure.”

“The proposed extensions will have limited impact upon the character and appearance of the area, and following amendments the impact upon neighbouring living conditions is considered to be acceptable. The proposal is therefore considered to be acceptable and in accordance with Policies QD02 and QD03 of the Thanet Local Plan, and Policy BSP9 of the Broadstairs Neighbourhood Plan.”

“- Loss of privacy from overlooking, - Devaluing of property.”

“Broadstairs Town Council - The Committee unanimously recommends REFUSAL due to the impact on the loss light, overlooking and loss of privacy to the neighbouring property.”

“The application has been called to planning committee by Councillor Garner for members to consider the impact upon neighbouring amenity.”

“The main planning considerations are the impact on the character and appearance of the area and neighbouring living conditions.”

“The proposed development shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted application as amended by the revised drawings numbered 1 Rev_A2 and REV_A 10-16, received 27 January 2026.”
