“The Council received no response as a result of neighbouring consultation. The proposal has been amended to set the side extension back by 1 metre from the main front building line, and reconsultation is not considered necessary as the change reduces the overall impact of the development and does not give rise to any new material planning considerations. Statutory Consultation 6.6 No statutory consultations were required.”

“In accordance with the Local Plan and the adopted SPD on Urban Design and Extensions, side extensions are required to be set back a minimum of 1 metre from the main front building line to reduce their visual impact and ensure they remain subordinate to the host property.”
