Single-storey rear extension at 7 Wood Hey Grove, Rochdale

“The application seeks planning permission to construct a single storey rear extension to replace the existing conservatory. The proposed extension would have a rectangular footprint with a depth of 3.71m and a width of 4.94m, which is just over half the width of the existing dwelling. The extension would have a hipped roof with a maximum height of 3.88m and a height to eaves of 2.85m.”

“The external facing elevations of the proposed extension would be constructed using materials to match the existing property.”

“The application relates to number 7 Wood Hey Grove, a two-storey, detached dwellinghouse. The property is situated amid a row of architecturally similar detached dwellings. The property is adjacent to number 5 Wood Hey Grove to the east and number 9 to the west. Number 8 Wood Hey Grove is located across the highway to the north and the rear boundary of the curtilage backs onto an unnamed footpath, beyond which are properties on Newark Road.”
