26/00129/CPL - Certificate Proposed Lawful Use/Dev Awaiting decision

Proposal

The proposed development comprises a two-storey side extension, a single storey side extension, a two-storey rear extension, and associated works including the formation of two rear parking spaces, partial removal of hedgerow, and construction of hardstanding. The two-storey side extension would be positioned on the side elevation of No. 25. It would be less than half the width of the host dwelling, set back from the principal elevation, and have a ridge height set below that of the existing dwelling. The roof pitch would match that of the host property. Matching external materials would be used to ensure a consistent appearance. The extension would remain subordinate in scale and proportion. To the rear of this, a flat-roofed single storey side extension would follow the alignment of the shared boundary with No. 24. This element would remain subservient to the main dwelling in both height and depth and would be constructed using materials to match the existing property. A two-storey rear extension would project into the rear garden. It would incorporate a double-pitched hipped roof set down from the ridge of both the host dwelling and the proposed side extension in order to reduce overall massing. The extension would be set away from the shared boundary at first floor level. All materials would match the existing dwelling. The proposal includes the formation of two off-street parking spaces within the rear curtilage. Access would be taken from Green Park Avenue via the existing dropped kerb. No new vehicular crossover or new street is proposed. A limited section of existing rear hedgerow would be removed to allow access. The remaining boundary treatment would be retained. Hardstanding would be constructed to provide a driveway and parking bays suitable for vehicle loading. Surface water from new roof areas would connect to the existing drainage system serving the dwelling. Hardstanding drainage would be designed to ensure no runoff onto the public highway. ...
