It was noted that the application site was in the Gatehill Farm Estate which was part of the green belt. The application is for the erection of a part two storey, part single storey side / rear extension, a single storey side extension and the raising and extension of the roof to create additional habitual roofspace.

The main issues for consideration in determining this application was to relate to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the original dwelling, the impact on the visual amenities of the surrounding area, the impact on residential amenity of the neighbouring dwellings and provision of acceptable residential amenity for the application property. The existing dwelling has a single storey flat roofed extension (a garage conversion) on the north western side elevation. It was proposed to replace this with a two storey side extension which measures 2.45m wide by 12.6m deep which included a 3m deep projection beyond the rear elevation. The two storey element then continued across the whole of the rear elevation.

This also included alterations to the roof, increasing the height from 8.6m to 9.5m and incorporating a rear dormer window measuring 2.85m wide by 3.6m deep with a gable end roof detail of 2.65m high. On the south eastern side elevation it was proposed to erect a single storey side extension set back from the front elevation by 5.85m and measuring 2.6m wide by 8.35m in depth including a 4m projection beyond the rear elevation. A 1m deep single storey element then extends across the whole of the rear elevation behind the proposed two storey side and rear extension. The side extension has a flat roof detail with a parapet edge, which measured 3m in height (3.1m including the parapet) and returned along the rear extension.
