Material considerations residents often raise

Residents may raise concerns regarding the following material considerations related to this proposal:

  • Impact on light: The side extension could potentially affect the amount of natural light received by neighbouring properties. This is particularly relevant if the extension is close to boundary lines.
  • Privacy: The extension may alter the privacy levels for both the occupants of the property and neighbouring homes, especially if windows are added that overlook adjacent gardens or living spaces.
  • Character of the area: The design and scale of the extension should be in keeping with the existing character of the neighbourhood. Residents may consider whether the extension complements the architectural style of nearby properties.
  • Parking and access: Depending on the size of the extension, there may be implications for parking availability on Romsey Road, which could be a concern for local residents.
