Single-storey rear extension proposed at 147 Lady Margaret Road

Summary

The homeowner wants to build a single-storey extension at the rear of the property. It would be up to 5 metres deep and 2.9 metres high — roughly the height of a standard ceiling. This application uses the 42-day prior approval process, which is a simpler route than full planning permission. The council does not assess design or local policy. It only checks whether the extension could affect the light or outlook of the properties next door. The property sits in a built-up residential street with many homes nearby. Any effects would be limited to the immediately adjacent neighbours at the rear.
