First-floor side extension at 60 Uplands, Stevenage

“DC88 1. SITE DESCRIPTION 1.1 The application site comprises a semi-detached dwelling located on the western side of Uplands.”

“Planning application 14/00478/FP sought planning permission for a “single storey front extension”. Planning permission had been granted in October 2014.”

“DC88 7.3.2 When comparing the relationship between the existing dwelling with the proposed first floor side extension with regards to neighbouring amenities, it is considered there will be a limited impact. The length of the proposed side extension is similar to that of the existing, and there are no overbearing or dominance concerns as the ground floor footprint would not be increasing. There are no side facing windows at no.”

“The existing parking arrangement is acceptable as there is no loss of parking, and there would not be any increase in the parking requirement.”

“The Committee considered an application for the erection of a first-floor side extension at 60 Uplands, located within the Chells Manor Ward. The proposal related to an extension above an existing garage and dining room of a two-storey linked detached property.”

“In response to a question from Members, officers clarified that the extension was intended solely for use as part of the existing single household. It was confirmed that the development did not involve subdivision or use as separate accommodation.”

“A recorded vote* was taken on the application and it was RESOLVED that planning permission be GRANTED subject to the conditions set out below:”
