Rear home extension at 10 Manesty View, Keswick

“10 Manesty View is a relatively modern, semi-detached bungalow constructed of pebble dash and concrete brick walls with a concrete tiled roof. A detached flat roof concrete garage is situated in the adjacent driveway. The dwelling is located on a street characterised by bungalows of the same style many of which remain unaltered.”

“Permission is now sought to amend condition 2 of this permission to extend the depth of the lower ground floor level by 30cm and to extend the adjoining storage/entrance area out by 50cm. Permission is also sought to extend the width of the glazing on the gable end extension by removing the blockwork at each side of the doors. A flue would also be installed on the north roof pitch to serve a log burner in the lounge.”

“Planning permission was granted in 2024 (7/2024/2169) to extend the property at the rear to achieve a ground and lower ground floor extension.”

“The proposed amendments would extend the depth of the approved lower ground floor level by 30cm and extend the depth of the adjoining approved lower ground floor entrance/storage area.”

“The increase in size would be minor and would not significantly alter the form and design of the already approved extensions.”

“Keswick Town Council object to the application. They state that they maintain their support for the principle of the original application subject to concerns about the impact on nearby properties. The change in design increasing the glazed area to the first floor lounge will have a significantly greater impact on the perception of being overlooked.”

“Character and appearance of the area • Impact on the amenity of neighbours…”
