Decided by BCP Eastern BCP Planning Committee on 18 Dec 2025.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the redesigned extension addressed overlooking concerns and provided acceptable design, parking and care accommodation.
- Residents mainly objected that parking was insufficient and that the extension could cause overlooking, loss of sunlight and tree loss.
- The committee voted 8 to 0, with 1 abstention, to grant permission in accordance with the officer recommendation.
