Decision & conditions
Signed_Decision_Notice.pdfPlanning conditions
- In the absence of sufficient information, such as a section drawing, the application fails to demonstrate compliance with Class AA.1 (h) of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) in relation to ceiling heights.
- The upward extension would extend beyond the ‘principal part’ of the original dwellinghouse and is therefore contrary to Class AA.1 (i) of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
- Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposals would not unduly impact the amenity of the adjoining neighbour, No.16 Chestnut Avenue, by virtue of significant loss of light. The proposals are therefore contrary to Class AA.2 (3)(a)(i) of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) and contrary to Paragraph 135 f) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
