Summary
The applicant wants to build a single-storey extension at the back of their home at Maple Grove. It would have a pitched roof and two rooflights to bring in natural light. This is a common type of home improvement. The property sits in a built-up residential area with around 107 homes within a couple of minutes' walk. Saltwell Park, a registered historic park and garden, is also nearby. The council's compliance check suggests a Heritage Impact Assessment may be missing from the application. This could matter if the property lies within a conservation area — something officers will need to confirm before making a decision.
