A PLANNING bid for an extension to a Great Leylands property is set to go before the Harlow Council planning committee.

This application seeks planning permission in Great Leylands for a two-storey side extension, a single-storey side and rear extension, a replacement front porch, and other internal alterations. The existing outbuilding to the side would be removed.

Six representations from three neighbours have been received. They object to the application with the following concerns:

•   The development would have an adverse effect on the character and appearance. There were similar applications for side extensions refused within the area
•   The extension would become a de facto separate dwelling
•   The development would be overbearing to the neighbours and blocking their views
•   The proposal would reduce the size of the exiting driveway, resulting in on-streetparking to worsen the existing parking problems of the area. This would result inhighway safety issues and affect emergency vehicles access.
•   The existing house is large enough and the applicant has no need for the proposedextensions. The applicant’s incentive is for future profit.

The meeting will be held at Wednesday July 6th at 7.30pm
