Cllr. Siriol Hugh-Jones

BH2022/01277 - 48 Sandgate Road

23rd May 2022:

Please accept this letter as an objection to the above application and a request that it go to Planning Committee if the officer decision is otherwise to grant permission.

I wish to object to this application on the following grounds:

· Overlooking/loss of privacy;

· Loss of light or overshadowing;

· Loss of amenity

The proposed extension would have a detrimental impact on the garden at No. 50 which is already affected by an existing extension on one side (No. 52). The proposed extension at No. 48 would extend further still and, given that the proposed wall is about one metre from the garden boundary, would effectively box in part of the garden at No. 50. Any windows on that side of the extension would overlook the garden at No. 50 and would therefore adversely affect their privacy.
