What is proposed

Material considerations residents often raise

Residents may raise several material considerations regarding this proposal:

  • Impact on light: The removal of the conservatory and the addition of a single storey rear extension may affect the amount of natural light received by neighbouring properties. Concerns may arise regarding overshadowing and the overall impact on light levels.
  • Privacy: The new extension could potentially impact the privacy of adjacent properties, depending on its positioning and the presence of windows or openings that may overlook neighbouring gardens or homes.
  • Character of the area: As the proposal involves a change to the existing structure, residents might express concerns about how the new extension will fit within the character of the surrounding area, particularly in terms of design and aesthetics.
  • Parking and access: Although the proposal does not indicate changes to parking provisions, residents may still raise concerns about how construction and the new extension could affect access and parking availability on Eastbury Drive.
