“25/1987/FUL - Construction of part-single, part-two storey side and rear extensions and single storey side extension at 18 GREENWAYS, ABBOTS LANGLEY, HERTFORDSHIRE, WD5 0EU”

“Relevant Planning and Enforcement History 1.1 8/600/83 - Room Over Garage. Description of Application Site 2.1 The application site contains a two-storey semi-detached dwelling located on Greenways, Abbots Langley. The dwelling has a dark tiled pitched roof with a two-storey front gable projection. There is a catslide roof to the side of the dwelling which is built up to the shared boundary with the adjoining neighbour at No. Greenways.”

“The wider context of Greenways consists of a mix of detached and semi-detached dwellings of varying architectural styles and designs, many of which appear to have been extended or altered. Description of Proposed Development 3.1 This application seeks planning permission for the construction of part single, part two storey side and rear extensions and single storey side extension.”

“Owing to its single storey nature, limited height and the spacing maintained to the boundary it is not considered that this addition would result in an overbearing form of development or harmful loss of light to the occupiers of this neighbouring dwelling. With regards to the single storey rear extension, this would remain set in from the shared boundary with No. 16 by approximately 2m.”

“Rear amenity 7.6.1 Policy CP12 of the Core Strategy states that development should take into account the need for adequate levels and disposition of amenity and garden space. Section 3 (Amenity Space) of Appendix 2 of the Development Management Policies document provides indicative levels of amenity/garden space provision. The application dwelling has four bedrooms as existing requiring 105sqm of rear amenity space.”
