Summary
The owner of a detached bungalow on Westlecot Road is asking to change the plans for a previously approved extension. The change removes the eastern first floor element, making the build smaller than originally approved. The home sits in the Swindon Town Gardens protected historic area, a couple of minutes' walk from St Mary's Church. Okus Quarry, a protected wildlife site, is about a 5-10 minute walk away. Around 10 homes and businesses have a direct line of sight to the site. Because the site is in a protected historic area, a heritage impact document would normally be expected. That document has not been submitted.
