BH2022/01478 - 20 Woodlands

8th June 2022:

As a Ward Councillor I wish to object to the above application.

Woodlands is unique. It has a countryside feel with many trees and bushes. The trees either side of the front of this property and some at the back have already been removed. Directly in front of the property in the grass verge is a very old Storm Beech tree and I believe this should have a TPO on it as I am concerned it could be damaged during any building work.

This is the second application for a further very large extension to this property on both sides and to the back. The proposed extremely large two storey extension at the back is of particular concern. It will project much further down the garden than any of the neighbouring properties and will be very obtrusive. It is an overdevelopment of the site.

There is also a very large balcony proposed at first floor level and this being so far down the garden will remove all the privacy from the neighbouring gardens. It will be a loss of amenity.

If this should be recommended to be passed I would request that it goes before the Planning Committee for decision.
