Summary
The owner wants to add a two-storey extension to the side of the house and a new single-storey extension at the rear. An existing smaller extension, a conservatory, and a porch would all be knocked down to make way for the new work. A new porch would also be added at the front. The property is on Mierscourt Road in Rainham, which sits within a protected historic area. The Old Church is about a two-minute walk away, and St Margarets Church is a few minutes walk. Around nine nearby properties have a clear line of sight to the site, with the rest shielded by other buildings. The upper floor could be re-clad in grey composite material and the ground floor rendered in cream. The detached garage, shed, and rear driveway would be removed and replaced with a grass garden.
