Rear extension proposed at semi-detached house in Grays

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner of 25 Boscombe Avenue is asking permission to build a rear extension and carry out related work. This would add more space to the back of their 1930s semi-detached home. The house is in a residential street in Grays. A few properties to the north-west have a direct view towards the site, but most nearby homes are shielded by other buildings. The area around the site has moderate road traffic on nearby streets. The site is close to a nationally important natural area called Globe Pit, about a 5-10 minute walk away. The ground beneath the property has a higher-than-average tendency to shrink and swell, which could be relevant to foundation work.
