other residential properties on the estate with open countryside to the south-east, at the rear of the house. Details of proposal The application proposes the erection of an extension to the side and continuing to the rear of the property, part single-storey and part two-storey. To the front, the proposed two-storey side extension would align with the existing front walls at ground and first floor levels. Both the singlestorey extension and the two-storey extensions would project 3.7m from the rear wall of the house, across the full width of the property. Planning history Nil Consultations British Waterways: No comments. Neighbouring properties notified: One letter of objection has been received from the occupier of the adjacent property, No.64, raising the following points: • He notes that the extension would not now come up to the boundary. • A two-storey extension overlapping the rear of his house is not acceptable. It would block out light from their conservatory and garden, and would seriously detract from the position they currently enjoy. They sanctioned the overlap at the front of the house in the expectation that there would need to be minimal effect on their property at the rear. • No.62 is built at a higher level than No.64 so even a single-storey extension could have an impact on No.64. Relevant policy Hyndburn Borough Local Plan Policy E10 Scale, density, design Observations The scheme has been amended since originally submitted, by reducing the width of the side extension to retain a minimum gap of 1m to the boundary with No.64, thereby building on the footprint of the existing garage. To compensate for the space lost through the reduced width, the applicant proposes to extend the first floor extension rearwards to align with the single-storey rear extension, projecting 3.7m from the original rear wall of the property. The key issues for consideration in this case are the scale, design and appearance of the proposed extension, the impact on the property and on the surrounding area, and the impact on the amenities of neighbours. The proposed extension would be in keeping with the existing property, would not be excessive in scale, and would retain an adequate gap to the adjacent property. In my view, the proposal would not have a detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the property, nor on the area in 20
general. While a garage would be lost at the property there is adequate off-street parking space on the driveway. The adjacent property, No.64, is set approximately 1.2m lower than No.62, and is also set 2.5m further back from the road than No.62. The rear elevations of both properties face south-east. There are no windows in the side elevation of No.64 facing onto the proposed extension, although No.64 has a conservatory to the rear. The rear line of the proposed extension would be set 0.7m beyond the main rear wall of No. 64, with a separation distance of 3.2m. Given the orientation and the relative positions of the two properties, I do not consider that the occupiers of No.64 would suffer significant loss of sunlight or of outlook as a result of the proposal. As now amended, I consider the proposed extension to be acceptable.
