Single storey rear extension proposed at a semi-detached house in Strood

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner of 137 Allington Drive has applied to add a single storey extension to the back of their home. The extension would stretch 6 metres beyond the rear wall and reach up to 3 metres tall — roughly the height of a typical garden wall at the eaves and no taller than the existing ground floor. The house is a semi-detached home built in the 1950s or 1960s on a residential street in Strood. The immediate neighbours are close — properties sit within about 5 to 20 metres in several directions. A fire station and a church are a few minutes' walk away. Because this is a rear extension, most of the construction activity would take place at the back of the property, away from the street. Only properties directly neighbouring the rear garden could potentially notice any impact.
