Officer report

Why approval was recommended

Approval was recommended because the extension would be subordinate, visually acceptable, and would not significantly harm neighbouring amenity or highway arrangements.

“Design The proposed extension features a hipped roof arrangement. The design of the extension is considered to be subordinate to the host dwelling, being single storey and in keeping with the proportions of the existing dwelling so as not to dominate. The proposed materials are to match those used in the construction of the existing dwelling.”

“Amenity Given the location of the proposed extension and that it projects no further than the rear elevation of the previously extended element of the property, it is considered that the proposed extension will not impact on the amenity of neighbouring property 11A Burton Road to the Southeast of the application site.”
