Erection of rear ground floor extension; rear first floor extension; installation of replacement rear sash window at first floor level; and windows in front elevation.
The installation and repairs to the sash windows is fine as is the remodelling of the plan. These houses are small and presently there are just two bedrooms at first floor and the bathroom is a ground floor as there is not really room to re-divide the first floor rooms. The trouble is that the proposed two storey rear extension, the upstairs being the proposed bathroom, being on the north side of the property will prevent any chance of any sunlight from the west getting to the adjoining property’s rear bedroom window. Whilst these are traditional properties the proposed extension is timber clad and we think will look particularly alien to the property. The side return to/on the neighbouring properties either side will be timber clad. We believe that there is a building regulation fire safety implication with that.
Comment: object on overshadowing and appearance.
