Single-storey rear extension at 24 Bowes Avenue, Margate

“Erection of a single storey rear extension following the demolition of an existing conservatory. The proposed extension is represented in two parts; the to the north would be a flat roof extension with parapet and timber cladding to the rear elevation, measuring approximately 4.5 metres in depth, 3 metres in width, and 2.8 metres in height.”

“To the south, the extension would measure approximately 5.5 metres in depth and 5.8 metres in width. It would be constructed with an asymmetric pitch roof which slopes towards the centre of the existing dwelling, measuring approximately 4.3 metres at the ridge. It would be constructed in dark grey zinc cladding with glazing and sliding doors to the rear elevation.”

“24 Bowes Avenue is a detached two storey dwelling, with a parking area to the front and amenity space to the rear. The property also benefits from an existing conservatory to the rear.”

“As the single storey extension will be located entirely to the rear of the property and not visible from the public realm, it is unlikely to create a harmful impact on the character or appearance of the host dwelling or wider area. In fact, it is considered that the asymmetric pitched roof and use of rooflights respond to the character of the host dwelling and introduce sustainable design elements through passive heating and natural light provision.”

“The neighbouring dwelling at No. 22 is a chalet bungalow with a flat roof single storey rear extension. As the proposed extension would not be set any further forward than the rear elevation of the extension at No. 22, and the neighbour is located to the south of the application site, it is not considered that any loss of light would occur.”

“Neighbouring occupiers have been notified and a site notice posted. No representations have been received.”

“Councillor Boyd proposed and Councillor Packman seconded to APPROVE the officer recommendation, subject to the following conditions:”

“When put to the vote the motion was AGREED.”

“The development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted drawings numbered 04 and 06, received 10 December 2025; and, 01 A and 05 A, received 16 December 2025.”
