Single storey rear extension proposed at Blacksmith Drive home

Summary

The application proposes a single storey extension at the rear of 13 Blacksmith Drive. It would have a pitched roof and extend outward from the existing back wall of the house. The property sits in a built-up residential area. There are around 54 homes within a couple of minutes' walk. Ellen Tinkham School is about a 5-minute walk away, and Whipton Hospital is also nearby. This is a routine type of application. The main considerations are whether the extension respects the size and character of the original house and whether it affects the light or outlook of directly neighbouring properties.
