Larger rear extension and dormers proposed on Kensington Avenue

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The existing single-storey rear extension would be removed and replaced with a larger one. The rear parking area would grow, with dormers added at the front and rear. Windows would be replaced, while the side would gain render and new upper-floor windows.

Homes stand directly adjacent to the north-west and south. Eight nearby property fronts have a clear view of the site, while 74 are screened by buildings. Kirkfield Cottage, a protected old building, is about a 1-minute walk away.

The work could change views and privacy for the closest homes. The council may also consider how the changes could affect the area around Kirkfield Cottage.

What the council wrote

Removal of existing single storey rear extension, replaced with larger single storey rear extension; extension to existing parking area to rear; dormer windows to front/rear; replacement windows; rendering and new windows to first/second floor side
