Porch and single-storey extensions proposed at house on Ulverston Gardens

Summary

The application proposes a new front porch and single-storey extensions to the side and rear of an existing house on Ulverston Gardens, Gateshead. This would increase the footprint of the home but would not add any new dwellings. The property sits in a dense residential neighbourhood with around 116 homes within a couple of minutes' walk. An unclassified road a couple of minutes' walk away carries around 574 vehicles a day, six of which are large goods vehicles. Extensions like this are routine. The effects, if any, would likely be limited to the homes directly next door — for example small changes to daylight or views into gardens.
