Summary
The owner of a detached house on Castle Grove in Newbury has applied to adapt and extend their home. The work is intended to create a multi-generational home — a single house where two generations of the same family can live together. The house is a detached 1950s-1960s property with a floor area of 173 square metres. It sits in a residential area near the River Lambourn, which runs close by. A busy road, the A4, carries around 13,000 vehicles a day within the wider area. Most of the surrounding properties are shielded from direct views of the site. Only a handful of homes to the west have a direct line of sight.
