it projects from the southwest half of the dwelling. The extension comprises two rear

Two first floor windows would be added to the north east elevation of the property.
Both windows would serve bathrooms.
Relevant Site History & Description
132 Borden Lane is a large two storey detached property set on a generous plot of
land. The surrounding area is residential in nature and characterised by large
detached dwellings set on large plots. The site is located within the built up area
boundary of Borden as defined by the proposals map of the Swale Borough Local
Plan 2008.
A single storey rear projection has been demolished to enable the construction of the
extension. The extension would be 2.5m from the common boundary with 134
Borden Lane and 2 metres from the common boundary with 130 Borden Lane.
The planning history for the application site is as follows;
SW/75/0663- Garage and toilet extension- approved.
SW/79/1572- Lounge extension and patio- approved.
SW/80/0031- Alteration to front driveway- refused.
SW/06/0275- First floor rear extension- approved.
SW/10/0011- First floor rear extension- approved but not constructed. The current
proposal would incorporate the approved first floor extension with the ground floor
extension to form the proposed 2 storey addition.
Views of Consultees
Borden Parish Council commented that:
‘Borden Parish Council were able to discuss the above application and object on the
grounds that the total size of the extension seems to exceed the designated
allowance of 50% of the original building. They also felt that there is potential for it to
overlook the neighbouring property and they are not happy that it is a retrospective
application.’
Kent County Council Archaeological Officer raised no objection.
