“The extension is proposed to feature a flat roof form, measuring 2.9m in height. 3.0SITE DESCRIPTION 3.1The site comprises land at 28 Tolls Lane, Holbeach. The site features a semi-detached two storey dwelling with a hipped roof form. The dwelling also features a two-storey side extension which features a flat roof.”

“7.17These policies accord with the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024) and require that design which is inappropriate to the local area, or which fails to maximise opportunities for improving the character and quality of an area, will not be acceptable.”

“7.28The proposed extension is relatively close to the boundary with 26 Tolls Lane, which is located to the north of the site. Tolls Lane features a relatively large garden and as such the proposed extension would not overshadow large portions of the neighbouring amenity space or the dwelling itself. 7.29Therefore, the impact of the proposed development on the amenity of neighbouring properties and future occupants would be acceptable.”

“The extension is approximately 2.6m from the boundary to the south with 30 Tolls Lane. 7.21Within the extension, two bedrooms are proposed and a bathroom. The purpose of the extension is to provide additional living space for occupants within the dwelling who have medical and caring needs.”

“The proposed extension is relatively large; however, it is acknowledged that the additional space is required, and also the space needs to be provided at the ground floor level due to the medical needs of the occupants. Although the proposed extension is relatively large, it would be positioned towards the rear of the site and would therefore only be partly visible from the street scene.”

“Amendment following 16 July 2025 Committee Meeting:”

“Members debated the matter and fully explored the details of the application in light of prevailing policies and guidance, with the following comments being received: • Concern was raised that the Parking Assessment stated that there would be no increase in parking due to the extension being for children’s bedrooms. This was specific to the current resident and may not apply for future residents.”

“That permission be granted subject to the conditions outlined at section 9.0 of the report.”
