Residential Extensions Supplementary Planning Document
Consultation
The Council has drafted design guidance for Residential
Extensions. The Residential Extensions Supplementary Planning
Document covers factors and criteria by which planning applications
for house extensions will be assessed.
The document also addresses porches, loft conversions, garages
and outbuildings as well as side, rear and front extensions. The
principles in this guidance promote good practice and will be
relevant whether planning permission is required or not. The
document contains illustrations showing good and bad examples of
design. The document deals with design principles for extensions
within settlements and within the countryside. As extensions impact
directly on neighbours, amenity considerations such as privacy,
overshadowing and outlook are covered in the document. Advice
on sustainable design and construction is also included.
Public Consultation for the Residential Extensions Supplementary
Planning Document commences Friday 7th November
and will run for 6 weeks to 5pm on Friday
19thDecember 2008.
Please give your views on this important new
planning document.
