11/00713/F - Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk

Trees and Landscape
The proposed extension lies within the root protection area of the Oak Tree, which is
protected by a TPO. However, the Council’s Arboricultural Officer has no objection to the
application, provided that the development is carried out in accordance with the Tree Report,
the tree protection plan, the ground plates and ground protection measures that have been
provided as part of the application. This request is deemed to be reasonable in line with
circular 11/95 – Use of conditions and a condition is subsequently imposed.
Other Material Considerations
The Highways Authority and Environmental Health CSNN and Environmental Quality Teams
of the Council offer no objections to the application. It is not considered that there would be
any detrimental impact on the local highway network as a result of this extension, whilst the
impact on properties sales and values are not material planning considerations.
Furthermore, tree protection measures relating to the adjacent oak tree can be secured by
way of a condition.
CONCLUSION
The proposal for ancillary living accommodation is not considered to cause any detrimental
impact upon the character of the dwelling, neighbour or visual amenities by virtue of the
scale, siting and design of the extension.
The recommendation is therefore to approve the application subject to conditions.
