Although most proposals for such house extensions are relatively small in scale, they can have a significant impact on the character and appearance of a property, the street scene and on the privacy and amenity of neighbouring residents.
The Supplementary Planning Document gives householders, agents and residents, as well as planning officers and members, a clear guide on how to approach the design of new house extensions in a way that will speed up the planning application process, reduce the likelihood of neighbour objections and improve design quality.
The Supplementary Planning Document will be supplementary to Policy R1D and other design policies in the Replacement Unitary Development Plan.
