Part first floor rear extension proposed at detached house in Hornchurch

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner has applied to add a new section to the back of their house at the first floor level. This would create extra living space above the existing ground floor footprint at the rear. The property is a large detached house built in the late 1990s, sitting on a residential street in the Emerson Park area of Hornchurch. The area is mostly made up of homes and has a few bus stops within about a five-minute walk. The extension is proposed to the rear, so its impact on the street and on passing neighbours would be limited. The main effects would be felt by the properties immediately behind and to the sides.
