A PLANNING application in Purford Green is set to go before the Harlow Council planning committee.

The application for 64 Purford Green is as follows:

Planning permission is sought for the development of a single storey wrap around extension consisting of pitched roof construction. The rear extension would extend 3.5 metres beyond the existing dwellinghouse and measure 8.9 metres in width. The side elevation would have a depth of 12.6 metres and a width of 3.2 metres.

Two representations were received objecting to the proposals. These can be summarised as follows:

– Increased roof area and effect of rain runoff leading to soak away rather than mains drainage
– Possible reduction in sunlight and daylight
– Development not in keeping with row of houses; and

– Concerns removal of concrete roof may lead to cracking

The whole application can be found here.

It will be discussed at the next meeting on Wednesday October 13th at 7.30pm in the council offices.
