Summary
The owner wants to change a family home into shared housing for nine people. Two single-storey extensions are proposed at the rear, along with a new window in the roof and a separate outbuilding in the back garden. The house is a mid-terrace Victorian property on Paget Street in Gillingham. The area is densely built up, with a pub directly next door and Brompton Academy a couple of minutes' walk away. About 64 nearby homes and businesses have a direct view of the site. The change from a family home to nine-person shared housing is a significant step up in the number of people living there. This could bring more activity, noise, and demand for parking on an already busy street.
