PERMISSION & RETENTION: Permission for the demolition of: • The first floor extension to the side. And the construction of: • A single storey extension to the rear; • A first floor extension to the side with a rooflight on the rear slope of the roof; • Associated site works. Retention permission is sought for part of the existing ground floor extension to the side.

- A 1-metre setback from the primary front building line is not warranted as the proposal does not create a terracing effect and adheres to established development patterns in the area.
