Single-storey rear extension replacing conservatory at College Road home

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner wants to remove an existing conservatory and build a new single-storey extension at the back of the house. This is a fairly modest change to one home — the new room would replace what is already there. The house sits in a protected historic part of Cheltenham, right next to St Luke's Church — a protected old building — and a couple of minutes' walk from Cheltenham General Hospital. The area has a strong historic character with many old buildings nearby. The main things the council will look at are the risk of flooding — this address is in a high flood-risk area — and whether the new extension fits with the look and feel of the historic surroundings. Two key documents that are normally required for applications like this appear to be missing.
