8 Holdaway Close
Rear & side extension: Loft conversion |
Object |
Parish Councillors consider that a single storey extension would be in keeping with the area, however they again regard this proposal for a two storey extension to be an over-development of the site; overbearing on neighbouring properties; having an undue impact on the adjoining public recreation area; and setting a precedent for similar developments.
The applicant appears to have taken no account of the inspectors report.
They therefore wish to OBJECT to the development. They request that this application is considered by Committee.
