Application
No. WD/2008/2426/F
Location:
Homestead Cottage, Hurstwood Road, High Hurstwood
Description:
Proposed part single part two storey rear extension
Applicant:
Mr Downs
Agent:
Challinor Hall Associates
Object.
The Parish Council considers the proposed extension, having
regard to its significant scale, bulk, massing and design, would
represent a disproportionate, over dominant and excessive
addition to this modest dwelling, to the detriment of its
existing character and appearance.
The Parish
Council notes that the application does not clearly show the
impact of the proposed new extension on the existing curtilage
which appears to be overlapping the area subject to a
retrospective application to increase the existing residential
cartilage.
The proposed
new extension creates overlooking of the neighbouring property
by virtue of the window to the assumed lobby area to the first
floor. If Wealden District Council are minded to approve the
application, this window should be removed and replaced with a
velux window to prevent overlooking.
It is also
regrettable that an extension of the size proposed would lead to
the loss of another small property in High Hurstwood and would
cause the unbalancing of a row of what were originally farm
worker cottages providing low cost housing to local people.
The Parish
Council would also draw the attention of Wealden District
Council to the proposed decking and request the any impact to
the neighbouring property is considered.
