Summary
The application proposes a single-storey extension to the rear of a house on Raby Road. It would project 4.3 metres outward from the back wall, reaching 3.6 metres at its highest point with eaves at 2.4 metres — roughly the height of a tall garden fence at the eaves, rising to about the same as a standard single-storey roof. The property sits in a busy residential area. There are around 100 homes within a couple of minutes' walk. The Abbey Leisure Centre is a couple of minutes' walk away. Being at the rear of the property, any effects would be limited to the immediately neighbouring homes.
