Reason:

No objection overall, subject to strict adherence to conditions in the arboricultural report & reassurance on specification of window replacements. In addition, we have some concerns about the scale & design of the proposed rear extension which we believe could be harmful to its setting.

This is an ambitious scheme. Whereas we consider the proposed front & side elevations to be of a generally acceptable design/ finish that compliment the surrounding CA, we have reservations about the significantly larger rear extension proposed. Although the property is well screened from the road, we consider this extension to be out of scale & character with the host property including the existing rear extension it seeks to replace; in particular we believe the unusual roof line, large multi pane metal framed windows/ doors & new basement are harmful to their setting.

The application also includes the cutting & replacement of various mature trees. Advice has been taken by the applicant from an arboriculturalist & we would like reassurance that the arboricultural report will be strictly adhered to. In addition, the application refers to existing timber framed sash windows in the property being replaced by slimline double glazed items to match. We would like reassurance that conservation grade windows will be used to match the originals as closely as possible.
